Today’s leaf report: Gingko trees are starting to let go.

Even the damp, dreary morning couldn’t dull this display.

This is not my house, but I could not resist taking this photo on my way home. You know how Christmas cards sometimes depict a sweet little house enveloped in a fresh blanket of snow? This would be that image if fall had a holiday card. It’s hard to see, but everything was COVERED. The bench cushion, the little table, everything. It was breathtaking. (Of course I can marvel because I’m not raking the yard.)
