When you’re born, so the story goes, you are issued a tennis ball. You and your support folks juggle it to keep it in the air. Every several years, you’re issued another ball that you must also keep in the air. As you get past middle age, the balls start showing up more and more often. Eventually, you drop one and that’s the end of you.
The changing colors of the leaves may make you think about how your hair will turn color – to gray. And the falling leaves may help you to think about how your hair may (will) eventually fall out.
I live on the edge of a national forest reserve, and my house is surrounded by 60 foot tall oak trees mixed in among 80 foot pines.In the spring the pines shed their pollen a yellow green sticky substance that clings to everything.In the fall the oaks drop their leaves and acorns in glorious profusion upon my roof and lawn.between the two events I rarely see and only vaguely remember the color of the stain on my deck and porch.
