Fall In The City
It is cold and rainy, Fall is definitely here. On the bike to work today I saw a red maple, it was beautiful. The leaves are all changing and it is really awe inspiring to be in a city where not only are there trees but the pollution levels are low enough to see them change to orange, yellow and red, not brown. Even though Spring and Fall are my least favorite seasons I have to admit it is very pretty. Interesting here though is people don't seem to rake their yards. It was a matter of pride in small towns to have a green leaf free lawn right up until it is covered in snow. A constant fight between child and parent, an annoying chore, but the leaves where always bundled into bags to raked to the curb. Here no one seems to care, leaves are all over the ground.
