A few days ago the tree in front of our house started loosing its leaf, and now today only a handful of leaves are left hanging on as if for dear life. Ralph said "well honey, its finally winter since all the trees are shaking its leaf." What i love about Autumn is the changing of the foliage from green to brown, yellow, red and gold. On mornings that i walk with Kayla to the bus stop we usually pass under this one tree and it feels so calming and earthy specially when the leaves fall around you. The front of the porch is covered in leaves and i don't even want to look at the backyard. I cant hardly see the ground in the backyard with all the fallen leaves. Next week well probably spend one day raking up all the leaves and bagging them. I don't think 20 bags is enough! I cant wait for snow since it will be Kaitlyn first time to finally see it, touch it and taste it. Its going to be pretty interesting how she reacts to the snow and I'm sure big sister will have fun playing with her and daddy outside. I'll probably play for a little bit with them but will soon escape inside the house with a warm cocoa drink in my hand.
It is officially Fall and we were just in time to close our pool for the season. We actually closed the pool in preparation for the Winter months ahead last week. Both of us were anxious about covering the pool and winterizing it. Every time we close the pool for the season we always encounter something that will go wrong. This has been our 5th liner and we don't want a repeat of last year. All our worries were for naught, Ralph winterized the pool, I helped him with the covers in no time at all and without any incident. Both of us just gave a big sigh of relief. Soon the temperature will be dropping and the leaves will start to fall. Some of the trees have already stated loosing their green foliage. Our leaves have yet to change colors from green to orange, yellow, red and brown hues. The season full of great golden colors. I can't wait for summer to come back and swim in that crystal clear water again.
