The leaves are off of the trees for the most part and I can see how the creek curves around to the north and east. There is also a pond to the east of the creek that I didn’t even know was there. I love fall leaves but our season of  color change was brief.

Thanksgiving is coming soon and I am looking forward to time with my family. My sister and I cook a turkey with all the extra stuff of a family tradition. We are already preparing or should I say she is already preparing ahead. She is putting up Christmas decorations today.  She absolutely loves all that there is to Christmas Season.

I on the other hand do not decorate. I take that back I did have live trees outside for many years with my partner. It was lovely, we fed the birds and the lights warmed them in the bitter cold of Minnesota. This is a cherished memory.

Well, I started with leaves off the tree to snow on a celebration tree. Memories come and go in random fashion since I lost my partner. Adjusting to the different climate is difficult. I love my sweat shirts and I want to wear one today. No such luck it is too warm. Oh well the journey down memory lane with each of you has is fun.

Peace, Annie
