October October. Now look at the photo.

Leaves on (May 22) - - leaves (fall) off.

In Maine leaves are on the trees for five months.
The five months are complete.

Now as I look out the computer room window
I see a golden maple. I also see the neighbor's
blue garage.  It will disappear in seven months.

Soon all the maple leaves will ask to go into
my compost pile. They want to join the pine
needles and the poplar material.

The poplars were bare days ago. 
White is the next color. White is not wet
if it is cold enough.

Smile.  Smiles. Big grins.
