The Trees Know

So far this fall, our weather has been milder

 than in recent years. That is such a blessing. 

Last winter was prolonged and miserable,

with temperatures plummeting in early autumn 

and not rising until late spring.

Even so, the trees know it's time for 

their torpor; leaves are falling like rain. 

These ginkos have created a golden carpet 

at the entrance to the Massachusetts Avenue 

shopping area, just off downtown Indy.
