POST 4 - EMILY

Today I planted tulip bulbs in my yard. Yellow leaves were all over the ground, so I picked one up and decided to use it as my inspiration today. After yesterday's lengthy story that I spent most of today revising, I think I'll do something different. I want to write down the first word that sprang into my head as I held that dying leaf.

BRITTLE.

I have always felt a link between humans and nature. Fall is my favorite time of year because the trees change color. The dry air is so refreshing. A last gasp before the cold of winter. When I was at USU, my teachers always said the only predictable thing about nature was its unpredictability. I think that's why I like it so much.

If you need more leaves, we have a yard full of them, free even. First come first served.

An insightful and deep post as always.
