Fall
I love fall. I love the pretty colored leaves and geese migrating south and resting in the pond near my house. Migrating geese always remind me that my wedding anniversary is coming up (18 years on October 24th!), since we saw so many geese in the air, as we traveled back and forth to Milwaukee, from Marshfield, WI, to finish up wedding plans.
The next "mileage marker" is the trees being nearly naked, as we approach the beginning of November, since that is what they looked like, when I started my first nursing job in Marshfield, back in November 1983. It's like the marker of when I started my adult life! I started my job in the fall and got married in the fall. It's usually all I think about, this time of year.
Around Sheboygan, we have lots of pretty colors, but leaves have only started to fall. We are a ways away from bare trees. People haven't really started raking yet! The autumn applause trees on the way home from Sarah's school are just gorgeous right now!
I so need to have one of these trees in my own yard! LOL!
