My alarm sounds as I open my bright, blue eyes to begin this extraordinary Saturday in the middle of October. I hear the birds chirping outside which makes me smile, and I notice that the windows appear a little foggy and damp. It is a beautiful day in the Fall which is my favorite season, of course! I yawn as I step forth onto the cozy carpet and pleasantly smell my mom baking something downstairs. As I start walking down the stairs, I wonder what she is making. The aroma is divine. When I enter the kitchen, I am handed a soft, warm chocolate chip cookie shaped like a pumpkin and a glass of milk.
“Thank you,” I reply with a smile.
As I look out the window near the kitchen table, it is enjoyable to see all of the colorful leaves scattered throughout the yard. The leaves are of different shades of yellow, crimson red, orange, or a mix of the colors together. The shapes are unique as well. It is such a gorgeous time of the year I think to myself. Finishing every morsel of the cookie, I rinse my glass and put it in the dishwasher. After taking a shower and getting dressed, I walk into the garage that is filled with cool air.
“I am going outside, mother, to rake the leaves!” I told her with excitement in my voice.
I run outside onto the dewy, wet grass and begin to rake and try to form a big enough pile to jump into. The air is crisp and a few neighbors are gathering up the colorful leaves to burn. One of my favorite smells, as well chocolate chip cookies, is the smell of burning leaves wafting through the air. Suddenly, the wind begins to pick up, and a big breeze comes through, creating a swarm of leaves in my backyard. The pile that I started is now ruined, and there is once again a big mess in the yard.
