    The leaves will land all over my lawn : ) and I will have to rake them up! They are so pretty though, aren't they? You just gotta LOVE them!

    beautiful! wouldn't it sound better: "where would they land?" instead of "we"? just a thought!

    Enjoy your weekend!

    really, images and poems of autumn are more on sad realities.

    Agree! Autumn is lovely. I'm content to seeing other people playing with the bed of autumn leaves.

    I really hope I'd get that experience.
