Cadie pushed the bowl into the refrigerator as her dad held the door. “Well that was fun Cadie. I think you will like that. We all will.” Her dad said. Cadie dried her hands on a towel and stood by the back door of the house.
She gazed out across the setting sun. And the shadows that grew along the garden. Then she noticed something. A single golden leaf floating down from a nearby Oak tree. It fluttered down to her feet. Cadie picked it up and looked at it. She had seen leaves before but suddenly she realised the trees were turning golden. “Something wrong Cadie?” Her dad asked joining her. “Dad why are the trees turning gold?” She asked. “It means that autumn is coming dear. It’s a change in the season.” He said.
“So summer is ending?” Cadie said worried.
“It is dear but not to worry my darling. Summer will be around again next year.”
Cadie took her dad’s hand. And they walked back into the kitchen to serve dinner and eat with her family. But not before taking one quick look over her shoulder. To watch the leaves fall from the trees.
