Last Breath of Autumn & A Leaf Throwing Party

Autumn is almost over around our home.  All the leaves have fallen and left my trees bare.  We had some rain and a windstorm Thanksgiving weekend and our trees almost instantaneously dropped their leaves. As I was having my cousins over that Saturday for a post-Thanksgiving lunch, I knew my little nieces would be excited to have a leaf throwing fight, so for their benefit we left ALL the leaves that had fallen.  Here are a few pics of the last breath of autumn in our garden and a leaf throwing party.

Last Blooms of Autumn

Autumn Leaves
Poem by Eve Merriam

Down
down
down

Red
yellow
brown

Autumn leaves tumble down,
Autumn leaves crumble down,
Autumn leaves bumble down,
Flaking and shaking,
Tumbledown leaves.

Skittery
Flittery
Rustle by
Hustle by
Crackle and crunch
In a snappety bunch.

Run and catch
Run and catch
Butterfly leaves
Sailboat leaves
Windstorm leaves.
Can you catch them?

Swoop,
Scoop,
Pile them up
In a stompy pile and
Jump
Jump
JUMP!
