A gentle breeze is blowing through the trees, whistling a lively tune in an aspen grove. Rustling golden leaves as if they were dancing to Autumn's song before they tumble and fall. Windswept to the ground, an amber carpet found when nature wants to change her gown.

A lovely Autumnal write, Lin. I’ve just discovered that our enormous cherry tree is a harlot and an exhibitionist… it’s been very windy here today, and yet that cherry tree simply threw her gown to the ground… No slow striptease for her… best get my broom, I guess

awww, let her enjoy her swan song, Terry. Maybe she shed her gown so you would notice. Harlot!! really. Don't ever lose your wit.
