...And the leaves are down.

How quickly it happens.

Leaves are green.

Leaves aren't green.

Leaves are on the ground.

All over the ground.

All over the roads!

All over the cabin paths!

All over the bowl!

Even all in the lake!

Y'know it's getting cold if even Woodrow doesn't want to go swimming.

And all over our Lakeside Fire Ring!

C'mon, leaves! Don't you know this is new? This is why we can't have nice things. (Kidding, we can. We can have nice things. And we do!)

I know, 'Dro. I'm not sure what to do about all of this either.

I'll tell you one thing.

 

Our afternoon schedule of practicing "stealthy walking" is canceled.

You'd be able to hear us crunching from a mile away.

If you think leaves on the ground is a rough sign of the passing of the seasons, you don't even want to know what Camp looked like this morning. You don't even want to KNOW. But I'll tell you anyway. 

Frost! On the fields! On the roofs!

I didn't take any pictures of that, though. Those pictures would be too depressing. Sunny leaves are better.

However, the colder weather and shortening of days means it's only a matter of time before WARMER weather and LONGER days, which means it's already time to start thinking about Summer 2016! (Although, when isn't it already time to start thinking about next summer?)

Stay tuned to this very blog, because we're gonna start unveiling next summer's dates, next summer's themes, next summer's new classes, next summer's special surprise announcements, and unveiling all the other next-summer-y things we have to unveil!

All the next summer news is so exciting it'll warm away the frost a bit longer, and you'll even be able to hear it above the crunching of leaves. 

But not now. That news is later. For now, you just have to wait.

And hear the leaf crunching.

Which is a very, very loud sound.
