fall

 Wow, it's been a long time. It's no longer warm outside everyday (although it has been pretty beautiful as of recent days). It's now October. The end of October. The halloween decorations are displayed on almost every lawn. The trees are no longer beautifully covered with yellow and red and orange hues. Now they are brown. Today, we (my mother, sister, friend, and I) blew all our leaves onto the garden and burned them. That aroma, combined with that of the freshly mowen grass to brought much joy and jubilation to my heart. And nose.
   Now I am showered, no longer smelling of fall's perfume, and ready to walk out the door to spend the evening sitting in a church house, listening to someone I don't know, talk. Good-bye.
