Gleneagle

Peering out from beside a balcony, I calmly watch my leaves flutter silently to the ground. The reds, yellows, and rusts still vibrant, not to be stifled by the grayness of the cold, autumn sky. I am an old maple, but the bustle around me keeps me feeling young and alive. Earlier today, a soft drizzle of rain hurried off the doubles that were playing tennis on the unique blue court. In the bark park, a puppy runs through the fallen leaves. He seems carefree and content, his human throwing a bright red Frisbee through the air for him to fetch! Each day, I survey the busy shuffle of bodies in and out of the fitness center. In the distance, the grounds are kept tidy and the maintenance workers smile as they go from one apartment to another fixing various problems. All around me overlooking the Gleneagle community, there are balconies full of various personal possessions. The large floor plans make it easy to accommodate everyone. During the summers, families frolic and laugh together in the sparkling swimming pool. With the hot tub and sun deck, it seems like there is something for everyone. I love to watch the gatherings at the clubhouse, where residents come together and share in a meal. I'm so glad I planted seed on the Gleneagle grounds; this is not just a place to grow, it is THE place to be!
