old and new

Fall is upon us - the crisp air, the changing of the leaves, the colors, the moon, everything changes. Fall is my favorite time of year.

Living in California you don't get too much of the change but you see it in little bits all over the place.
I remember growing up in Wisconsin we'd rake all the leaves from the oak trees in our front yard and make piles and piles while we ran and jump right in. Raking them up again to do the same thing again, over and over.
Then my sisters and I would make our own little roads through out the yard with all the leaves... those were the days of just playing ...
The days of fall - where you got to bring out your sweaters and sweatshirts when the sun went down, cuddling up to a fire or even a bonfire outside. Thinking that summer is gone for another year...

Out with the old and in with the new....I know Fall is the beginning of the long hard winters in the midwest and I'm happy to say I don't have to deal with that anymore but it's also leading up to the Spring where the new comes alive...and our little one will be born.
