Leaves Of Fall

The Fall has always been my favorite time of year. The colors came late this year but the reds, yellows, and greens have finally arrived. Part of my driveway is concrete and has become a collection point for leaves and I can hear the skittering of the leaves as they blow across the concrete (it reminds me of the opening scene to the old horror movie classic Halloween). It is very quiet here and when Molly and I take our walks, the sounds of the woods are pretty amazing as well. I can hear the squirrels running through the leaves and every once in a while they will bark at me and Molly as walk underneath the trees, the birds are whistling and making all of their various sounds, and only once in a while can you hear any man made sounds. Henry David Thoreau had his Walden Pond and I have mine.
