Outside - leaves, snow, etc. - reviewing

Good morning! It's gonna be another glorious fall day! The yellows this year are unbelievably bright! At the road I have a sassafras, a yellow maple, a dogwood, and a persimmon. What a lovely variety of colors all in one spot! I'll bet my Mom had something to do with that. I know she was always partial to sassafras trees. She got really angry with Dad when he cut one down that was in the way of his mowing, Kind of like I got mad when Bob cut down our pear tree in the back yard at Clemson - the only thing that bloomed - other than the magnolia. It was a scrawny little tree, but I loved seeing the blossoms each spring. Oh well, now I have daffodils to look forward to - thanks to Ray! ---- I had my previous blog posts printed and just received the book yesterday. What fun to review last year - just in time for writing my annual Christmas letter. I had forgotten what a really nice snow we had - hope we get another one this year - snow covered surroundings always seem so CLEAN!
