Fall Foliage

We're starting to get to the beauty of fall in the midwest. Typically, we get lots of yellows and oranges--but red is fairly rare. I couldn't help but stop and snap a photo of this gorgeous RED LEAVED tree.

Since we've moved, I find I enjoy fall a lot more than I did at our old house. The old house had 5 overly large trees that all lost leaves at different times. Sean & I would be raking about four days a week to try to keep up. This would go on for almost 6 weeks until they all lost their leaves. We'd have as much as one 96 gallon barrel of leaves plus 6 lawn and leaf bags each week.

Now that we're relatively treeless, I can enjoy the beauty of the leaves a lot more.
