Fall has fallen

For the first time, we live in a house that's got tons of trees in the backyard. The last week or so, we've been totally bombarded with a really awe-inspiring amount of fallen leaves. They're everywhere. They cover the back deck like a carpet. We can barely even see the grass. It's a real onslaught. And since I love fall, I actually enjoy the mass amounts of leaves on the ground. I like the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind, the crunch of the leaves underfoot, the colors of the leaves on the ground... It's really beautiful.
