Leaves

While raking leaves from the front lawn Friday morning I realized I love Autumn. As many people complain about leaves, I to enjoy them. They bring joy in replenishing the earth with vital nutrients(by decomposing) that it gives to humans and animals, through oxygen. The colours that leaves display in autumn are an amazing feat that scientists cannot explain yet, and raking with a significant other can be fun. When raking them you can pile them in something that you can run and jump into, or you can throw at each other, and turn to a competition to stuff down each others clothes. Who has never had this joy, and if you haven't than I feel you are missing out on human interaction. I not only love leaves themselves, but what is associated with them. I love the colours, the smells, the temperature, all bring the start of something new. That is what I love. I could say the same for Winter, but I hope that will be its own blog.
