For me, though, the best part of fall has always been scuffing through the leaves that fall onto the sidewalk. I grew up in Treetown (Ann Arbor), so I had many walks home from school which I spent shuffling through piles of leaves, kicking them up and watching them settle down again. The scuff-scuff noise is so satisfying, and the piles keep replenishing themselves despite people's best efforts to keep them tidy. Too bad my own neighborhood is filled with honeylocusts, whose tiny leaves don't make good scuffing; but as I walk through Ann Arbor, I still enjoy a good scuff now and then.Diane Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128401898400900879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464201653179922615.post-47725704244359261902008-11-07T12:11:00.000-05:002008-11-07T12:11:00.000-05:00Great post!

Last night we didn't need a blanket on the bed, and when I'm teaching, I'm miserable unless the air-conditioning is on. <BR/><BR/>So the thought of catching brightly colored leaves on a brisk, chilly day fills me with an aching longing. The trees are changing in Scotland too and we're not there to see it. <BR/><BR/>Remind me to come and visit this blog in February...<BR/><BR/>Beautiful post.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464201653179922615.post-59816456375914271302008-11-07T07:58:00.000-05:002008-11-07T07:58:00.000-05:00Great post, Jacqui.
