Autumn Hearts are Here ...

The wind and rain have stripped most of the leaves from the trees ...

It's now the Heart of Autumn!

Autumn Leafs Its Heart ...

Usually by December the trees are bare, the rain is dumping, and we've raked for compost/mulch all of the fallen leaves from the yard ...

Not so this year.

Most of the leaves are down ...

But not all.

Many are still hanging on ... through the pounding rain and heavy wind.

Maybe the leaves are just trying to hold on until Spring ...

as I am.

Another Fall Leaf Heart

There are a few leaves still stubbornly clinging to the trees, but most of them have fallen.
The ones on the ground are losing their beautiful colors ... this one in the shape of a heart!

Autumn Shows it's Heart

Walking with Sissie yesterday was a delight to my heart!

The rain held off ... the sun even peeked through the clouds a time or two.

And the colors - unbelievably beautiful!

Everywhere we went we found reds and yellows and greens and oranges. ..
And HEARTS!
