For awhile it seems like summer and Fall co-exist. My begonias are still blooming beautifully, But looking out my window I see twinges of Red on my neighbor's tree. Brown leaves already crunch Underfoot. Will the dry summer hinder the color? No one can ever really predict. But on my calendar I see that fall Begins today, my melancholy time of Year. And we're having a rare rainy morning with Cooler temperatures, a nod to the new Season. I remove my fall mugs from the cabinet in the Garage and wash them thoroughly to Get rid of the dust. I select one that was a gift from my friend and Fill it with hot steaming coffee. As I lift the cup to my lips to enjoy my first sip I say, "Cheers! Here's to autumn. Here's to fall, my favorite season of Them all." |
