The Last Lonely Leaves of Autumn

As December begins, most of the trees are done shedding their leaves, but these big maples are still hanging on for a little longer.


Here's me and one of the last leafy maple trees. I've been letting the beard grow, but it might be time for a trim. Geepers, there's a lot of... umm... "silver" hair there. Some folks have said that if I let it grow a bit longer, I could pass for Santa!
