FALL BACK


Leaving the searing sins of summer behind to take a milder approach

Longer brighter days left begging as the sun setsΒ Β closer and closer to the evening news

Early is still warm but with a cool night, removing an hour will help lighten the load

Home is divided between heating or cooling ,but cuts bills that gives us the blues

Early autumn whispering, green leaves still glistening ,watching the beautiful blossoms erode

Whistling winds no longer as warm, chilly nights more the norm , changing clothing a game of pick & choose

Frequent freezes still blocked by late summer breezes,longer nights mean the day has slowed

Soon dreams of cider and rich apple pies will ring true,switching from salads to hearty stews

Casual shorts & t shirts changed out for long pants & flannel ,not quite ready for those heavy sweaters to be sewed

Final warning to prepare ,wild winters do not care ,first frost means higher cost ,seal all holes ,block all winters air unless you live in an igloo.

Last winters memory lost ,spring also faded ,settling out of summer for the upcoming beauty of Fall and all she will bestow. R.C.
A few thoughts for the shorter days. lost track a little,was first thought of with clocks falling back and shorter days not just an ode to fall but still came along nicely without just rambling of colors or frost and pumpkins:)
I appreciate your reading ,your thoughts are helpful. OH and happy Fall:) Rick
