It brings to mind many fond memories of raking fall leaves into giant piles and jumping in them with my siblings, and in later days, with my own children. I have sweet memories of going on drives in the country with my parents, just to admire the aspen poplars in the fall.&nbsp; I remember going for fall walks and watching as the leaves fall from the trees around me, raining gently down to settle quietly on the ground at my feet.&nbsp; Fall can be just as beautiful as springtime with its own sights and smells. Each time I hear the wild geese call and look up to see them flying in their V formation, I imagine them announcing to the world that fall is truly upon us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-text-align-center has-black-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-to-luminous-vivid-orange-gradient-background has-text-color has-background\">\n\n<strong>Announcing to All that it is Fall<\/strong>\nBy Krista Longeway\n\nSummer\u2019s gentle kiss sets all the leaves free \nTurning crimson and gold upon the tree\nAnd when the fall winds start to sigh and blow\nEach little leaf knows it is time to go\nThe soft breath of the wind making them fly\nThey wave and dance, cascading from the sky\nThey twirl in the wind then float to the ground\nThen rest below without making a sound\nTheir faint musty smell wafts in on the breeze\nAnd they crunch underfoot beneath the trees\nWhile up high overhead the wild geese call\nNow announcing to all that it is fall\n\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love the fall season, with its colourful display on a sunny day.
