The many colored leaves of Fall are everywhere. The tree in our backyard has yellow, orange and brown colored leaves. They blanket the yard.<\/p>\n<p>As I walk with one of my daughters to school, the sun is just rising on the horizon.<br \/>\nI\u2019m the breakfast monitor at their school. Though it can be a challenging job watching the kids and such sometimes, I like the people that I work with at the school.<\/p>\n<p>Later I go to my work at the farm. The driveway up to the farm is lined with apples trees. Some apples are still on the tree while others have fallen to the ground. Blue jays fly by. Later I hear a slight scream from a hawk circling high in the sky. The horses are now blanketed when it\u2019s cold. They stand or lie down to soak in the warmth of the sun.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s physical work, yet I&#8217;ve found it suites me. Besides I love the farm and the horses.<\/p>\n<p>I go home later to my house-home. I picked up my daughters from school.<\/p>\n<p>My hubby comes home around 6. We have supper.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the evening I\u2019ve sat down and done some art work. I started my holiday card image that I will be sending to family, friends and businesses on my list.<\/p>\n<p>What do all these things have in common.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re all things I\u2019m grateful for.<\/p>\n<p>What about you?
