The brilliant colors around me

I wanted to share a picture taken right outside my residence.  It shows the brilliant fall colors of the trees near me.  I am thinking that this kind of foliage is similar to that I saw awhile ago when I traveled to the New England area to see some of its fall foliage.

Unfortunately we are expecting lots of rain and some wind that will blow many of these leaves down from their trees.  In addition to clogging the storm drains around here, the trees will become much more barren (and I miss the leaves) and winter-like.  But the promise of a lovely Spring will now be upon us as everything growing rests for awhile.

I am well, but working hard to turn around my sleep habits from waking up at night and then being sleepy during the day.  My residence keeps everything so warm and comfortable that it is easy to fall asleep in the middle of the day!
