A wind has blown
the rain away and
blown the sky away
and all the leaves away
and the trees stand.
I think, I too, have known
autumn too long.
...E.E. Cummings
There are not many leaves left on the trees. Our neighbors red maple leaves have come down with the last storm. Our other neighbor, Peanut Butter is wading through them.
But, the lower half of our pear tree is still hanging on to its leaves.
Since we never have a white Christmas at our home, I hope we get more rain and more snow in the sierras. Winter starts December 21st!
I like e.e. cummings very much!
