Steinbeck………..did you look at the calendar?

No.  Why?

Well, today is the first day of fall.

Did you say Mom fell???

No.  Get the catnip out of your ears.  I said today is the first day of fall.  Remember how the trees change their clothes and put on lots of pretty colors?

Oh, like in this picture Mom took a couple years ago when I was really little?

 

Yep, that’s fall.

So when the trees shake off all their leaves, does that mean the next season is Fell?
