Is it me?

Okay is it me or has this year gone exceptionally fast? It definitely feels like time is speeding up. We’re already in early November but didn’t summer just end…like a couple of weeks ago? When I looked out my front window earlier today the leaves are almost entirely gone from the trees but now form a leafy yellow sea across my our collective lawns and provide a thick covering across the road. Clearly the good thing is that I live on a lovely tree lined street for much of the year, but come the fall it turns into a wasteland of wet and rotting leaves. Sweet! Tis' that time of year I suppose... I think it’s the smell of the rotting leaves that transports me back to my childhood so easily and the images of me spent running through the endless piles of leaves that covered the football oval during our training sessions. Although in Australia the autumn is in March and April given that it’s the Southern Hemisphere…strange now to imagine the season...
