First to Fall

The Cedar Elms pictured here at the property entrance are one of the early indicators of Fall in Wimberley. Every October they start to yellow a bit, and soon the small leaves are falling everywhere, getting into everything. I need to remember this look for the next four months or so, while baren limbs make things considerably more austere out there. But for now, the change of seasons stirs deep feelings of special times to enjoy. Times like playing touch football, gathering with family around the fireplace, or snuggling against the cool weather with my darling. How sweet, Mom Nature sending those little yellow leaves on their mission of love.
