Leaves Falling

Summer ends and Autumn begins. Autumn is my favorite season, because it is not too hot like summer, and not too cold like winter. It’s just perfect. During Autumn I usually wake up and look out my window and see the falling leaves. Some leaves are orange and some are brown. My dad spends lots of time raking the leaves, so I usually go outside and help him.
