A lesson from a leaf
Autumn did not disappoint this year! The splendor enchanted me daily. We have a beautiful state park here that boasts over 1 million visitors each year because the leaves simply take your breath away! But its more than just their ever changing colors. A friend of mine simply can not get enough of crunchy leaves under her feet! To be honest, her joy might be even more delightful than the crunch of the leaves themselves. Have you ever just sat down and watched leaves fall? We seem to understand the magic of a gentle snowfall, so why not enjoy the leaves as well? I have a mini cooper convertible that not only allows me to marvel at the tree tops but also collects samples of leaves for me to enjoy even after the sun has gone to bed. What a gift! Did you know that each leaf is a living solar panel that can actually nourish the tree by changing sunlight into food? Just stop and think about that friend. Each leaf is born a new in the spring, spends the summer making miracles fr
