True Colors

During winter, there is not enough light or water for trees to make food, so they rest, and live off the food they stored during the summer. That is why the chlorophyll disappears from the leaves and they change colors. What an amazing thing nature is, that what sounds like such a simple thing can bring such a beautiful change.

I LOVE the fall. I wish the colors could stay around longer. I was talking to my son in the car the other day about the leaves changing and how the sunlight looks different now as the sun lowers in the afternoon, because the season is changing. He was just like "Ok, whatever Mom!" I know he thinks I'm a weirdo but those changes fascinate me. Life is too short not to take it all in!
