I'm not sure which is better...the beautiful scenery, great music or happy kids playing in the leaves!
.
BTW, is there anyway to find out the title of that particular song?

Leaves falling into a river are a metaphor for life: We grow, we change, we fall into the river and are carried away, but life continues, always renewing itself. It's that time of year.

I had a thought that leaves falling into a river are a metaphor for life: We grow, we change, we fall into the river and are carried away, but life continues, always renewing itself. It's that time of year.

I was sitting in the woods yesterday and the leaves were comming down like rain, the soil must be so rich with all the decayed leaves that have fallen year after year. It has dep ravines and rocks fr om the ice age, the Indians used to walk in the ravines so I was told by other oldtimers. I watched all the birds scurrying around.

Let them float away before the Government hears about it and taxes the land owners where the leaves come from.
