Autumn

Now the summer is grown old

the light long summer

                                     is grown old.

Leaves change

and the garden is gold

with marigolds and zinnias

tangled and bold

blazing blazing

orange and gold.

                               The light long summer

                                is grown old.

I don't know about you, but I can't believe that fall is already here.  This year has been flying past!  I'm a couple of days late, but -- goodbye, summer and hello, autumn!

Someone asked the other day what my favorite season is.  I don't really have a favorite.  I like them all! While I will miss some things about summer (sunshine, warm weather, chilling out in the pool, lazy days with nowhere to go), I am looking forward to all the joys that autumn brings.  I love the colors of fall, the crisp days, picking apples, decorating for Halloween, and so much more.  Wishing all of my readers out there an amazing autumn! :)
