...the Autumn leaves of red and gold.”
Of course, Chez jbk is high above the streets of the fabulous Upper East Side, so I don't actually see falling leaves drifting outside my windows.

But the leaves are finally starting to turn colors in Central Park. I should have brought my real camera instead of the Q, but here's a few pictures from a little post-brunch stroll yesterday afternoon.

And here's Nat Cole doing a great Johnny Mercer classic, “The Autumn Leaves,” which includes one of my favorite lyrics: “I see your lips, the summer kisses/the sunburned hands I used to hold.”
Let me tell you something, missy, ever since I worked for one of the big record labels and pillaged deep into the catalog, I realized they knew how to writes lyrics in those days - not like you kids today with your hip hop and your rap and your rock and roll.

I could take your rampant abuse of "amusing" but Johnny Mercer... Nat Cole and leaves falling???
Get out of here, I said... get out!
He had such a great voice!
I love Fall in the city, its my favorite time of the year...
Listen my husky right-wing friend, methinks thou dost protest too much. I get the feeling your poor beleaguered wife could probably share a few stories with Mrs. Senator Larry Craig, if you know what I mean.
I like Autumn too but I like the Spring best.
