Dear Liza,
We have a lot of rainy days in our forecast, so we have decided to just go for walks, knowing we are going to get wet. The grey cloudy light makes the pictures darker than usual, so they look almost magical.
We walked around the park, amazed at the carpet of leaves and the thousands yet to fall. The giant ginkgo tree stays yellow for a week or so, and will drop all its leaves almost overnight.
It was so dark at 1 o’clock in the afternoon that the park lights had come on.
Bridgett got very engrossed in looking at a pair of squirrels chasing each other around the trees. I’m not sure if they were fighting or flirting, but they were so busy they didn’t even notice us.
This tall oak will hold onto its fall leaves for months, until it is ready to spout the green leaves of spring.
Knowing that spring is many long wet months away, I may need to carry the sunshine inside me.
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
