Winds of Autumn The summer winds have blown by And disappeared into the sky, But lest they leave us all bereft, They made arrangements as they left, For autumn winds to take their place And with their advent, there's no trace Of warmer days.The air has chilled. The sugar maple tree is filled With leaves of glory, orange and red That twirl and fall to make a bed Around the bole, where children play And add their laughter to the day. Then comes a time, when raked in piles They're burned and leaf smoke adds it's wiles To autumn weather.Crickets sing And every day more birds take wing, Until we only see the few Who linger here all winter through. A melancholy time for me. I find I always long to be Someplace else, but I don't know Just where it is I want to go! Yet that too passes and I find The holidays are on my mind. Though autumn winds bring me unrest, It is the season I love best! Betty Lou Hebert Published in Bristol Banner Books, 1998 [This message has been edited by Trillium (08-19-2002 05:48 PM).] |

Oh this is nice but I hope it's not time yet for autumn winds. We're just having our first hot weather the last few weeks. Joyce |

Marge: Thanks. We are having cool, breezy mornings and evenings this past week. Feels much like fall. Afternoons are still warm however. Betty Lou Hebert |

Joyce: Thanks and glad you liked this. We have had very hot weather all summer and no rain since last June, so the cooler weather is welcome here. Surprising what a difference in weather between your area and mine. Betty Lou Hebert |

lol..we don't have that problem in Florida this summer. HOT, HUMID, and lots of rain. Fall usually comes in November, sometimes winter doesnt come at all.  the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

pegasus111: Lucky you! Here we are casting about for a likely source of wood for the winter. We usually burn 5 or 6 cords and always put in extra just in case! Betty Lou Hebert |
