Leaf on the windshield

Leaves are falling now, carpeting the ground and the road and my car and sticking wetly to almost every surface. The rain and wind and cold nights have done their work. I expect the trees will be completely bare within the next week.

We've stored the garden hose and patio furniture. The heat has been on in the house for nearly two weeks. My collection of turtlenecks has come out of storage. Winter is coming.
