"it is fall, it is fall...the leaves are falling everywhere"

when we opened the kitchen door to leave this morning, we could barely make out the driveway as it was completely covered with leaves. the trees are mostly gold with smatterings of orange and bits of red here and there. it really is lovely but a bit treacherous to walk on, not to mention it is carried and trekked throughout the house. yesterday evening the kids were dutifully picking up leaves and throwing them in the garbage. i looked at bryan who smiled...nice bit of training there. (i wondered if he could get them to tidy up the driveway...)

and they (we) sing this almost every morning on the way to school.
