Three Things: Autumn Leaves Edition

The leaves are coming down, and blowing around, which means that I have to spend time outside with a rake this week. The crunch with each step, the bright dusty aroma, the glow of the autumn sunlight through the leaves: there is no shortage of sensory details when fall comes around. Perfect for this week’s writing prompt, no?
