That’s one hell of a heat index and an even bigger, heArt index! There’s something about the colour of those leaves as they prepare to shed reminding us of our own naked arrival. 🍁 ❤️

Thank you for your intuitive comments, Jamie. Yes, my heart was in the writing —I love autumn.

I do doubt whether I was more than one color at my birth, though. LOL

I love Autumn too! When I was a child, my friends and I, would rake the leaves, either in large piles and jump in them or we made rooms out of them for a house! (make believe). I decorate the inside of my home for Autumn and Halloween! Then after Thanksgiving or before Thanksgiving, I put up my Christmas decorations! I love decorating for the Holidays!
