Still-Life Autumn

With hot coffee in hand, I am looking out my picture window. I see the autumn leaves being blown off the trees, beautiful leaves in colors of red, gold and orange. Time to leave for work, out the door I must run. I am running over a beautiful carpet, a carpet made from the falling autumn leaves. Crush~crush I hear, the falling leaves beneath my purple shoes. Into my car I must go, as the frisky squirrels run up a big oak tree. Autumn when the days turn cool and beautiful, I know winter will soon be here.

Thank You, for your note and for your good luck. You are right, snow~brrrr. It is fun to see/play in. After taking so many months off, I am trying to get back into writing.
