Missing Autumn Already

Around here where I live Autumn ended very abruptly. This Fall foliage photo from Pixabay reminds me of how much I like Autumn and how things looked like around here just a couple of weeks ago. But then one day we had a ferocious wind storm that blew all the leaves off all the trees. The Fall Foliage was gone within just a matter of hours. It is now all over the ground. The trees have been buck naked ever since and it seems like winter. While this was kind of sad for me, I was still happy about one thing: leaf stomping. I just love stomping my feet through piles of dried leaves. I actually derive great pleasure from this. Am I weird? Do other people like doing this, too? Soon it will be time to stomp through snow.

It happened the same here. The leaves were green until around the 20th of October, they had just started to turn yellow and read and at the first rain they are all on the ground.

There is no snow nor fall foliage here in sunny SoCal.

Way to rub it in. Actually, I often miss Southern California. I don't miss the smog or the traffic or the billions of people but I do miss the weather and the beaches and the hills. Who knows? Someday I just might return.

@JohnRoberts - That's good to hear. It was the early 1980s when I last lived there and there was a lot of smog back then.

I guess it's better than stomping through snow...

Leaf stomping I could go for. Snow, not so much.

@CarolDM That is a very beautiful picture you chose for here. It is sad to say goodbye to something you like. and then go into something you do not like.
