The last two cold nights finally shook the trees loose, and the leaves came down in a rush. My 12/02/25 postcard shows a rust-red metal dog sitting in a yard on Natalie Avenue, surrounded by a fresh bed of fallen leaves. Warmed by the low winter sun and carrying that unmistakable scent of fallen leaves, the whole scene made it clear the season had settled in for good.
