Wrestling (Not Rustling) Leaves


Yesterday morning, I opened the windows and doors of my house to allow fresh air to circulate—the first fresh air in nearly two weeks.  When I opened the front door, a half-dozen leaves that had fallen from my Mayday tree whisked inside my house and began a highly animated wrestling match about three feet behind me as a cool wind pushed at me.

“Good morning fellas,” I said to the leaves.  And then I stomped on them, because that’s what humans do.
