FALL

Fall is not my favorite time of the year.  But it brings so many changes from day to day.

The days grow shorter while the evenings bring a cool crispness to the air.

The leaves of some trees display their brilliant color while others only offer a dull brown.

It is a short lived scene as the harsh north winds begin to blow.

Just as you blow out a candle, the winds blow the leaves from their branches.

The barren branches stretch towards the sky with nothing to hide.

The winds swirl the leaves towards the ground, moving them from left to right.

The pretty flowers of Summer now lie wilted in their pots, Roses from the garden drooping.

The beauty of Spring and Summer have disappeared leaving a dull and barren landscape.

Oh, how I long for the warm days of Summer, the beauty of the Roses and flowers.

Fall has arrived preparing us for the Winter with its freezing temperatures, ice and snow.

Time to huddle inside with hot cocoa and a fire's warming glow.
