Oaken

Trees, oaken, shivering. Blustery winds change style with color. A rich raiment, till stripping them of leaves.

Linda, I'm back to thank you for your comment but especially to congratulate you for your winning too. Your ninette is fantastic. I love the way you describe the trees beautiful colours before the leaves fall. Now they are waiting for new green ones. Stunning! Blessings!

Congratulations on your win. I enjoyed reading your "Oaken" write. The trees are so petty this time of the year. Have a great/wonderful day writing away...........

Thank you dear Paula. Our trees down here are colorful, but nothing like the Middle States and North East! :)

Oaken, hmm, Linda. Now that will certainly tip over the nightstand where my dictionary sits. Tho' such a traling somewhat similarly affects out coconut trees. O'er time, when they're no longer productive, fronds fall and stay off and then the invented stump comes into play, my friend. Thanks for the share, Cheers. Aloha, William

Yes, they do have a rich raiment which is enjoyed, then those leaves enrich the soil. Thanks for sharing this one with us. If for a contest, it reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara K

Most of them blowing into my garden. Why don't they stay in their own garden. Maybe hug a tree next year.

LOL Paul. Nice to see you here! I had a neighbor once who complained about "my" leaves falling in his yard. I asked my yard guy to blow them off his lawn when he came. He still wasn't happy...some people would complain if you hung them with a new rope, eh? :)
