The maple trees around here are turning colors. They are brilliant reds and oranges and golds this year.

Each year I notice how beautiful they are, each year I think the colors are the prettiest ever.

Just like this year.

But today I also feel tinges of sadness as fall progresses because my little girl, the one who loved fall and who believed the trees turned color just for her isn’t here to enjoy it.

Katie looked so beautiful in fall colors.

She’s everywhere I look.
