You know, not something that the kids can tag as TLDNR …
(too long did not read, to the uninitiated).
But I caught my leaf – actually three leaves!
Every season, as close readers of this blog may know, I run
in the park amid the swirling leaves and, without stopping, I attempt to catch
in my hand a leaf in mid-air. It is not to be trapped, and the only leaf
treasures are those that have not touched the ground – a gust of wind that
frees already-fallen leaves into the air are not fair game.
Today’s leaf was caught before a dreaded nor’easter,
which is expected tonight and is certain to blow down millions of leaves in my
jogging path.
Try it yourself. It is some fun – and gives an inordinate
amount of surprising pleasure.
