Where did fall go?

I love trees, I love OUR trees, I love that of all our neighbors in our fairly new neighborhood ('97) we have way more trees than anyone and they're big. I love to look out our 2 story windows and just look at the trees. Well apparently mother nature is not as excited about our trees, we had 2 break this summer from strong winds, these 2 were on the side of the house making for 'some' privacy from the street. Then yesterday we got 14" of snow, our trees are just realizing they should start changing colors and maybe lose some leaves and the poor things get 14 inches of snow? We have so many broken branches it makes me cry. Clean up this week will not be fun after the meltdown, and because this is Colorado it's gonna be in the 70's by the end of the week.
With the holidays fast approaching I have set the end of October as my goal to have all my Christmas gifts purchased, and they will all be wrapped by the end of November, so when Dec 1st hits I'll be sittin' back enjoying a cocktail with no more gifts to buy or wrap. I am so bad at choosing gifts for people, hopefully my husband who has a talent for that sort of thing will give me some input. My favorite gifts to buy are for our dogs, I can't wait to watch Griswold open his 1st Christmas gifts, he will love it!
