Déjà l'automne Lorraine ?
Une saison qui me rend un peu mélancolique, et pourtant elle est si belle !
Je préfère le printemps, quand la nature endormie ouvre doucement ses yeux ...
Pour ma pomme, si tu pouvais faire une traduction française pour l'ignare que je suis (I don't speak english my dear ...) lol
de belles couleurs ROUSSES ........ Bisouxxxx

FALL! Bring it on! My favorite time of year. The air is so breathable, the colors so brilliant. Smell the apples, feel the warmth of afternoon sun, and listen for the rustle of leaves. Gives me goosebumps!

Purty purty colors (colours). I don't think they should be swept up. Leave them until they become dust.
