It happened so fast this year, first it got cold, then the leaves started to change, and a huge windstorm brushed them away. I never even really got a chance to show you the leaves of my ginkgo tree. They stay green, and suddenly change to golden yellow, and in a flash they shower down to the ground. Well worth watching day by day, because if you miss a day, it’s gone.
Over, kaput! And all the leaves are gone until the next spring.
Kind of reminds me of that Mama’s and Papa’s song…all the leaves are gone, and the skies are grey. I love that song.
Looking forward to spring, yes, that’s me. But there is still beauty in the bare branches, especially when the sun shines on them in the afternoon. .
