A Tribute to Turning Leaves
Written in for NaBloPoMo October: Fall posted by BlogHer. Prompt for October 1 – what is your favorite thing about Autumn? I love Autumn. I love the falling leaves and resplendent colors; and the cool nights and bright days. In particular, I love the… Continue Reading “A Tribute to Turning Leaves”
