"Around and around the house the leaves fall thick - but never fast, for they come circling down with a dead lightness that is sombre and slow. Let the gardener sweep and sweep the turf as he will, and press the leaves into full barrows, and wheel them off, still they lie ankle-deep."Charles Dickens, Bleak House
***************************************
This was the view outside my window this morning. As the last few months of the year go by, gradually all of the leaves are going to fall off these trees. The leaves will turn brown, and then each time the wind blows a few will drop to the ground, scratching and rustling against the others still hanging on. When the branches are bare I will know that Christmas is just around the corner.
Weather: Since Monday it has been bright and sunny here with not even a cool breeze to make it feel like autumn. Every afternoon the air has been warm, like summer. Tomorrow the wind is supposed to change direction, giving us cooler temperatures for the rest of the week. Will this be our last taste of summer?

The view outside your window is beautiful!
It doesn't look like fall here in Florida.
