Autumn slumber

Grandpa Oakham had a long list of chores to do. Raking, chopping firewood, and preparing the garden for winter. But that list can wait until tomorrow. Today, Dark Oak Forest is a kaleidoscope of colors. Leaves of scarlet, saffron, and amber float lazily through the air, littering the ground like a confetti sunset. The ground warmed with honeyed sunlight inviting grandpa to rest his weary head. Just a few minutes, he promised himself, until the crisp arctic air came to blow his dreams away like so many leaves on the wind.

Leaves in hues of scarlet, saffron, and amber drift lazily through the air, carpeting the ground like nature’s own confetti, and the warm honeyed sunlight adds a comforting glow to the cool autumn day.
