“In November, some birds move away and some birds stay. The air is full
of good-byes and well-wishes. The birds who are leaving look very
serious. No silly spring chirping now. They have long journeys and must
watch where they are going. The staying birds are serious, too, for cold
times lie ahead. Hard times. All berries will be treasures.”
~Cynthia Rylant,
The leaves are getting more colorful now. A little later today I am going leaf peeping in Sacramento, and the anticipation makes my heart leap just a little bit! I can't wait to see all the beautiful autumn color!
