Winter is Coming

| November 21, 2010

We have this lovely Japanese Maple tree in the front yard. It has deep purple leaves in the summer that turn to a vibrant red in the fall. It holds on to its leaves for a long time; when its leaves drop I know winter is almost upon us.

The Maple tree gave up its leaves this week so we went outside to play in them a bit before raking them to the curb. Sam was enamored with the colorful display and we had a fun morning rolling around in the brisk fall air. This photo is my favorite from the morning:
