Tease

 

32 degrees this morning when I went for my walk. No wind, so it didn't feel too bad. Some frost, as you can see in the picture. Nature is such a tease. A week ago it was autumn glory with temperatures in the low 80's. Today the trees looked wrecked and rusted. The scent of dead and dying leaves takes me back to childhood and a fall walk in the woods with my mother and father or a wade through knee-deep leaves on Main Street's sidewalk. Maybe more than any sense, smell calls up memories.
