Almost Winter

I think all the leaves are gone now. It's cold and rainy/snowy outside today. Nothing's sticking on the ground, though. My car was covered in snow this morning. Glad I didn't have to scrape all the ice off and head out to work.

The maple tree in my yard finally decided to start changing color. And a few days after that, more than half the leaves are gone; scattered around on the ground waiting for a rake. Here's a pic of the tree:



I think the cold weather is here to stay. *sigh*
