My lawn is carpeted in a copper crunch, nature's version of peanut brittle? This is the long-awaited encore of that show called autumn.

Encore
Ninety percent of the leaves have let go of their mother tree and fallen twisting and turning to the ground below. The last ones hang and dance as if no one is watching. The trees become mystical guardians in the fog. The evergreens become dwarf-like gnomes.
As the light changes the scene glows in burnished bronze hues making the day seem warmer than it is.
My lawn is carpeted in a copper crunch, nature's version of peanut brittle? This is the long-awaited encore of that show called autumn.

My acreage was covered with leaves. Suddenly they were all gone...until I walked out my back door. They had all blown to the back of my house and I could barely open the door. Every year I swear I will purchase a leaf blower.
ReplyDeleteThese leaf blowers are getting lighter and easier to use...
DeleteI love these bronze, copper, rust colors — were perfectly beautiful with my reddish hair color and the color of a favorite corduroy suit I had years ago.
ReplyDeleteCopper crunch is the right way to describe your leaves.
