In celebration of fallen leaves.......

The weather turned out to be better than expected today so E and I headed outdoors to inspect the yard and the damage incurred by overnight frost as well as collect some leaves that have fallen. So for art today, we created the following:

Love the fallen leaves. We too have been enjoying the activies with the leaves before they all go.

All year I had been looking forward to a fall of lots and lots of planting and I think we did quite a bit to satiate my incessant desire to have a beautiful yard/garden. We still have some hundred bulbs of tulip to plant before the end of fall. Now comes the time for diving into and kicking up fallen leaves that are steadily creating a huge pile in our yard. I'm glad to report that I have now arrived at the point where I am even enjoying the dust that's produced when one mows over dead leaves. LOL! This is progress! FYI I am originally from Malaysia and of Chinese-Indian parentage; married to an American. Hence, the excitement and joy over small but different things from those previously experienced. :-)
