Dogwood Monday: November 12

As predicted, a windy storm last week brought down the rest of the leaves.  The dogwood is holding on to one last leaf but the rest have fallen and await my rake.

On the same windy day that brought down the dogwood leaves, Old Man Tree dropped the rest of his leaves.  

Fall always seems to be like this; one day I look up and the leaves are gone, replaced by stark branch and cold days.  The days in November have passed in a similar blur; I expect the rest of the month will fly by just as quickly.  Fall is often that way for me.
