Fall

Summer has passed with its usual warmth of sun, rain and freshness. A time of new growth and all the activities that only summer can provide. The kids went summing with their friends and folks and we all laughed and had a great time.

Now fall has arrived and the trees are turning from summer green in to an explosion of color, red, yellow, orange and gold with numerous colors in between. Only fall can produce such splendor and the reaping of summer harvest.

Where has summer gone so fast? It seems like it was only yesterday that we were looking forward to its warmth? Gone to rest for a time only to reappear in all its splendor just a few months from now. Have we forgotten winter with its own special gifts to us? No, not at all, but we're not there yet.

Fall is that time of year when witches and goblins prance around just to be laughed at and have fun pretending we are one, if only for a day. Like summer, fall only last for a little while, yet we look forward to the challenges of going back to work, school and new beginnings, whatever they may be.
Have some fun this fall and I'll see you in the spring.
