Autumn Splendor



Why am I writing about autumn splendor when we have just entered the season of spring?  Why am I thinking of colorful leaves when beautiful blossoms are displaying themselves?  I can't say for sure, but autumn leaves are one of the things that appeared on my list of seven gratitudes today.

I am thankful for autumn leaves.  The array of colors, the range of sizes, the very abundance of them during the fall season all appeal to me.  I enjoy seeing the colorful trees in autumn even more than in the spring.  It seems like Nature has somehow proclaimed itself in all its glory, saying "Look at me, look at me!"  Sure, there are drawbacks, especially for people who have to rake leaves, clean them out of their gutters and drains, etc.  But the vivid splendor of them every autumn cheers me year after year.
