Yesterday I got out of bed and there were only two cars on our street, ours. Hmmmm, I thought, it seems as though we should move our vehicles to another location. It was leaf-sweeper day. Huge street sweepers came through to take our golden autumnal glory away. For weeks I've enjoyed strollering through the leaves piled in the sidewalks, giant yellow and red maples, red oaks, other varieties that I can not identify but are still very nice looking. I feel like a kid again and shuffle through the deep spots so I make an extra crunchy noise. It's so delicious. This area of St. Paul should win awards for fall splendor. I think it has, actually. The leaves just keep coming and coming, too. It's not just a week or two, they've been around since before I moved in. As I write this I realize that I haven't even lived here a month yet, but I guess it just seems longer since I am outside walking around 1-3 times/day (mostly to induce sleep for the one in the stroller). Many days the sun is peaking through the half-skeletal trees making it even more enjoyable. Today rain fell and tomorrow it might be snow. I guess snow is nice, too. And the farmers like the rain!
