Leaves are Falling

Well it won't be much longer and it will be time to get out the rake. A rake just doesn't fit my hand anymore. I have a mulcher mower that we run over the leaves and it mulches them into tiny bits. I think God meant for them to decay and be used as natural fertilizer for the lawn. I don't think he meant for everyone to rake them up and burn them and pollute the air. Some cities, like one we used to live in, get so bad you can hardly breathe outside due to all the leaves burning. We are not looking forward to winter though and we know that comes next after the leaves fall.

Tony Snow to Leave the White House Early

White House spokesman, Tony Snow, has announced that he is resigning from the job early for financial reasons. Mr. Snow did not give the date he would leave, but said he had taken a pay cut since he joined President George Bush's team from Fox News TV in April 2006. He has also been undergoing chemotherapy for colon cancer. His announcement comes just days after one of Mr. Bush's closest advisers, Karl Rove, announced that he was leaving at the end of the month. Mr. Snow announced his intentions on the conservative radio program The Hugh Hewitt Show.
