The colors of autumn and Thanksgiving are warm and inviting. The dark reds, golden hues, and deep oranges remind me of fireplaces, warm apple pies, crisp frosty mornings with the crunch of leaves underfoot. I drove past a yard full of leaves on my way to work this morning. I almost wanted to stop, rake them up, and jump into the pile. Piles of leaves just beg you to come and play!
