Leaves and Limbs

Somehow this year the leaves fell all at once.  Could be my imagination but Councilrock was filled with leaves.  Naturally there are some limbs where the leaves hang on - all winter (Oaks I think).  But the majority of the limbs are barren.

Remember the fun of jumping into a pile of leaves.  While raking why not enjoy the fruits of your labor before disposing of all those leaves.  Jenna and I used to create entire paths - a complete labyrinth at our Brill house.  Such a wonderful memory of playing with her outside.  Naturally she will remember this and the chore of picking up limbs (not her favorite activity).

I wonder how those limbs feel now without the clothing of leaves.  Free or a sense of loss. Do they hang in there or just fall?  Jenna hopes they hang in there!
