MM--Crowded

As is usual at this time of the year, the wind blows the fallen leaves all around, and the leaves have a tendency to become crowded together in the places that are a bit more protected...in this case the stairs...making for a cautious descent, as there was a thin layer of ice underneath the leaves. Thirty degrees (F) today with a stiff wind, & I noticed that the ice has already started forming on the lagoon, although it may not last long if the forecasted 45 degrees actually comes about by Thursday or Friday.
Thanks to 60Plus for hosting MM this month, and for the great themes. :)))
