You know how you look down, see a stone, pick it up and save it because you feel a kinship?
Well, autumn leaves are similar to that stone. You see the leaf as if it is smiling at you like a puppy that wants to be held. You pick it up and save it on a shelf or catchall bowl. In winter, you dust and place the now dry leaf back or in a new place.
I saw orange still in the mountains. The word is that the leaves are dropping, peak foliage is falling to the autumn gone by side at the higher elevations.
There are 1316* named mountains in Vermont: 73 above 3000 feet, 73 at 3000 plus feet, 5 above 4000 feet, and the remaining mountains are above 1000 feet except for Mount Philo at 968 feet and Pease Mountain at 820 feet, (both in Charlotte, Vermont).
Today energy arrived like a phantom on a snack break in want of knowing what candy corn tastes like. I managed to do more as well as be out and about for a short while.

I've never saved leaves because they are allergy triggers for me. I just have to content myself with admiring them from afar.
ReplyDeleteAfar is good, Maryanne
DeleteThat’s how I enjoy puppies and kittens.

I think you probably have many gorgeous trees from which to choose your leaf! Every year I paint a leaf. I haven't done that yet -- and I, too, will be on the hunt for the perfect leaf to paint!
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteI look forward to your paintings.

Oooo, I don't see long leafs like that around here. They are all big and round. Pretty photo.
ReplyDeleteSheri,
DeleteThat leaf is from a small ornamental tree that
looks like a crabapple tree but isn’t.
