As the days grow shorter
And autumn comes to call,
We say farewell to summer
And welcome in the Fall.

The air at night is cooler,
Dew glistens in the morn.
Farmers till their fields
And pick last crop of corn.

Pirates, ghosts and witches
In costumes of pretend,
And trees ablaze with colors
At each October's end.

Chipmunks and squirrels,
Gather nuts to store away.
Farmers pick last crop of corn,
And tie up bales of hay.

As the days grow shorter
And autumn comes to call,
We say farewell to summer,
And welcome in the Fall.

Linda,
Yes alas it is here. Just in time. Lovely write.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

In such a sweet, simple way, many, many childhood memories come rushing back with this write.....everything from jumping in leaves, to hayrides and hot chocolate.  Such sweet memories to recall this year.  Thanks, Angel!   .....jo

Linda

Your words paint such a wonderful picture that I felt I was part of.  Autumn is my favourite time of year and you have captured the very essence of that season.  I hope all is well in your life.

Take care........Sue
