Reading my friend's blog, she mentioned looking out her kitchen window the other day and seeing lions, baboons, and llamas passing by. Seems the circus was in town -- she lives in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico --.and drumming up business by parading some of their animals around town. At the end of her brief note she asked the question: "What happened on your street yesterday?" I didn't see any strange animals, but I did observe a different kind of show. I stood at my bedroom window for a good 15 minutes yesterday morning watching the bright yellow and orange leaves float through the air and settle gently on those already fallen. It was like a special choreographed sequence and each leaf had a specific role to perform. Your turn, Hey! You're next....come on, keep up! One after another they glided on soft air currents doing a little back-and-forth dance. It was a bittersweet performance -- a little sad knowing each leaf had lived its life and was now seeking its final resting place, but I smiled as each was going out in a blaze of color.
