Over the past week, all of the dogwood’s leaves changed. On Saturday morning, after the overnight clouds had cleared, the light shown through the leaves and inside the house we were bathed in a reddish-gold light. It was splendid.
Some leaves have already fallen and thought the yard is covered; many more leaves still need to fall. Some dry days and a burst of wind will take care of the rest of them. The raking season has arrived.
Until the rest of the leaves fall, I’ll enjoy the colors on the tree right now. The time change means I have some more light in the morning and that’s rather nice, a chance to enjoy the last of the year’s dogwood leaves when I come downstairs in the morning.
