We’re Having A Fall

I know, I know. I haven't gone to bed yet. 4 a.m. is going to suck ass.

I was noticing today what a beautiful fall we're having for once. Usually, around here, we have a couple of hard freezes, the leaves turn dull, yucky, dead colors and hit the ground all at once. Fall is usually so short it's hardly noticeable. It's warm one day, cold the next. This year, there are amazing colors all over the place. The leaves are falling a little here, a little there. It's been really neat. Today I was sitting at a traffic light at 104th and Sheridan looking off to the Northwest. A breeze had blown all the brown cloud away from in front of the mountains and they were so clear and beautiful. Longs Peak in the distance had snow on it. In front of that was all the beautiful fall foliage. It was a breathtaking sight. Too bad I didn't have my camera with me.
