"October gave a party and the leaves by hundreds came." I don't know who wrote that
catchy little’ rhyme but I remember it from my childhood so its an oldie. Yesterday as I walked
down the lane it all came back to me. Last week's storm brought most of our beautiful leaves,
as the old poem says gaily fluttering down, "The sight was like a rainbow new fallen from the
sky". Cur trees are mostly black oak so instead of a rainbow it was more like a golden shower.
The leaves are so thick on the ground that if you didn't know just about where the road was you
couldn't have found it. It was like walking ona carpet of gold. When they have dried they will
-erackle under your feet as you walk but now they just kind of muffle the sounds, Given a few
more hundreds of years they could build some nice topsoil on that rocky old hillside of ours. I
like the autumn season. Its beautiful but kind of sad except for the cheery crackling of wood in
the fireplace. Even that has a kind of nostalgia, At least it has for me. Most of my neighbors
think it's just a very dirty business, The carport is so full of wood at the moment I can't even .
get the cars completely in out of the weather. A 24 hour a day fire will soon take care of that but
as my neighbors say it is dirty. Wood bark and moss get dropped on the carpet all the way to the
fireplace. And no matter how careful we are there is lots of dusty sooty fallout. But oh what
heavenly warmth.

room were brimming over with goodies at 10 a.m. when we opened but by 2 p.m, it was beginning
