We have been really lucky: we have had beautifully warm, t-shirt and shorts type weather for the passed couple of weeks. This week, fall came for real! Suddenly there were leaves everywhere. I was on pick up duty for a couple of tykes I look after which meant I had the privilege of driving around and really seeing the full glory.
I have never seen so much colour. One tree can be a rainbow in itself. Not just the oranges and browns I imagined but a whole display of pinks, yellows, reds and every green in between. I can't believe how beautiful it is. People and books have described it to me. Baltimore also had a bit of this glory they call fall (but sooo much concrete in between). Now I know why we only ever call it Autumn in Auckland, NZ. Of course, I taught said tykes to look for the largest bundle of leaves and walk through it, enjoying the swish swish rustle beneath our feet. It took us f-or-ev-a to get to the car.

ReplyDeleteno car, I use their car when I'm on pick-up. It was for a week but now it won't happen again for a while.
