Snap, Crackle, Pop

I heard it often growing up...the little elves from the Rice Crispies cereal commercials. I never understood the meaning behind "Snap, Crackle, Pop" until I poured a bowl of Rice Krispies cereal yesterday.

How far I have come if I can hear the snap, crackle and pop of Rice Krispies!

Anywho, we are at the tail end of fall, and I can promise you that I marched through every pile of leaves I could find on the campus of Clemson University. I wonder if the newness of the sound of leaves crinkling beneath my feet will ever be lost?
