it rained here last night. the kind of rain that actually gets down to the roots. it’s cool and cloudy and that fall smell is in the air. it’s a mixture of wet leaves, wet dirt and not enough sun. in the “olden days,” there would also be burning leaves mixed in and although i totally support the idea of clean air, i do miss that smell in the fall. there are still lots of leaves on the trees . . . well, some trees.
same parking lot, same day, two directions from where i was parked. apparently, not everyone is on the same schedule.
there is still color in the yard.
