The Changing of Seasons

Fall will be officially over tonight since the Twin Cities are supposed to get 4-8 inches of snow over the next 24 hours. We've had a great Fall season though. It was almost 70 degrees just a few days ago. Why is it that I always start to enjoy taking walks and being outside just as the seasons change? Though most of the leaves are off of the trees, one of my neighbors had a bush that had it's last remaining leaves on it and they were such a beautifully, brilliant shade of red. They were tiny and petite, but packed a punch of color. Let's hope this storm tonight doesn't pack quite as much of a punch. I could totally do without Winter this year......
