A few months ago I read a book called OneAmazing Thing by Chitra Divakaruni. It was very good and was about this group of people who are trapped and try to keep from going crazy by telling stories. Each person has to tell a story about one amazing thing from their lives. This post is not about that book, but I was thinking wouldn't it be nice if I could find one amazing thing every day and write about it or take pictures of them.
My one amazing thing for today is probably the colors the trees are displaying this fall. I remember several years ago I was living in North Carolina and I saw trees change in the fall. The colors were glorious, but all I could think was "Oh, my. What's wrong with the trees?" I thought something was terribly wrong with the trees because I had never seen fall colors in real life. I understood what was going on, but somehow, my brain did not seem to make the connection and not think there was something wrong. My brain is very silly sometimes, but I digress.
Houston has two seasons: summer and two weeks of "winter" where it sometimes freezes for one night. The trees typically turn green and then brown and then green again. There are a lot of oak trees and pine trees and magnolia trees, so there is often still quite a bit of green to see, but this year, all the other trees are really showing off the colors they are capable of making. I'll have to take some pictures.
