Fall Country

I love this country in the fall.
When hazy skies hang over all
And in October's chilling air,
I watch for spots of color where
The aspens spill their golden tide
In surges, down the mountainside.
It's then the cricket sings his song
Beneath my window all day long
And maple trees turn orange and red.
The flowers in their summer bed,
All fade away and go to sleep
And squirrels with athletic leap,
Go tree to tree, complete their store
Of winter food, then look for more.
Until one morning, they decide
It's time for them to stay inside
The cozy nest they have prepared.
The bounty of our field is shared
With family and neighbors too
And now there's nothing left to do,
But just enjoy each passing day,
Before the autumn slips away.


Betty Lou Hebert

Thanks Marge.  I wish I could join you in Florida until about next April.  I am no longer enthused about cold weather.  I used to ice skate and ski, so I enjoyed it, but that was a few years back!!
