Autum Colors

This picture shows the beautiful world as it was just a couple of weeks ago. Things change quickly at this time of year, as we settle in for a long, cold winter. Alas, that beauty of a couple of weeks ago is now gone, with all of the red leaves on the ground underneath the burning bush. The days have been glorious, cold, very frosty in the morning, with temperatures 20 or a little below. We are gearing up for Thanksgiving, with Christmas to follow right on the heels of that thankful celebration. We have neighbors whose yard is so full of flashing Christmas lights, bouncing from here to there, that it lights up our whole cul-de-sac. Scary! We'll be more sedate, with our usual subdued program - nevertheless, we will celebrate the season appropriately.
