today we had what the meteorologists call a “wintry mix,” which is a deceptively winsome term for an onslaught of rain, sleet, and snow, that slaps down relentlessly from windy, subfreezing skies, and chills the human body deep into the marrow. yesterday we had caribbean colored maple leaves in our back yard. tomorrow the trees will be siberian gray silhouettes. goodbye fall. and, in the words of jerry seinfeld to his nemesis, newman, “hello . . . WINTER.”

Dear Mary jo: Words cannot express how elegant, simple and beautiful your photographs are! Thank you so much for sharing. You have inspired me like no one else ever has. God bless you as you continue to share your gift with the world.
Beautiful! While they are red colored, they are actually white oak leaves. Hard to know what you meant!
Hi Heather,
You are so right, I was typing too fast too late at night. Indeed, they are white oaks!
Thanks,
Mary Jo
