Some Silliness on the Change of Seasons



HM and I went for a walk one day,
to enjoy all the autumn color.
We were a little late for the show
but that's how it goes,
at least it was beautiful weather!




Fall leaves disappear in the blink of an eye
but crabapples stay around forever.
Their bright colors attract lots of critters, in fact,
which turns out to be really quite clever.




It's been a lot colder than normal this fall,
although that's not really something I dread.
It brings out the autumn colors quite well 
and all of the mosquitoes are dead!




Dark clouds usually hang in the sky overhead
so the bright blue was quite a surprise.
For now I'm quite happy with things as they are  
but it's kind of hurting my eyes! 




Leaves float on the top of the Frog Pond,
eventually to sink in the end.
Bare trees are reflected on the surface
and photobombed by HM. 




Sometimes you can't see the forest
because there are too many trees.
That's what's special about autumn,
we get to them all differently.





It's nearly the end of this season, 
another one soon will begin.
Mother Nature is laughing her ass off
 and planning a do-over again.




Though the gold of the birch and aspens
was swept away weeks ago,
the oaks and maples around,
kept our spirits from getting down,
about the inevitable snow. 




Back at home there was still lots of color,




unfortunately, primarily in the street!




Then white arrived on the scene, 




putting an end to the green,




and poor orange was overcome with grief!




As this very strange blog post is ending,
there's one thing that's important to know,
this can't be a good start to winter 
 with leaves on top of the snow!

Thanks for stopping by and

THANKS FOR VOTING!!!!
