Some favorite autumn memories involve leaves; the grand canopies of reds, golds, oranges, and browns; the sounds as the wind moved through them; as a child, tracing the shapes for school art projects or just for fun; the raking, then the jumping into the neat little mountains, and raking again; the smell of burning leaves once the mountains were deposited in our burn barrels. Since I live in a subdivision burn barrels are not allowed, but I fully intend to "barbecue" a couple of leaves just for the ambiance. So, while many of my friends grieve the passing of the hot, summer sun, I'm reveling in the pleasures of autumn!
I'll leave you with this image my husband captured last year...

Hi sweetie! I've been gone or I would have been here sooner...
Love the photo but am not looking forward to the cold temps that will be on the way...

That's ok! I just recently returned to visiting blogs and to writing a bit. I love the autumn cold, but am not much of a winter gal! :)
I remember raking and burning them too back in the day. And when I was a kid, I would jump in the pile after the raking was done, LOL.
