it's raining here on a sunny day or one they said 'twoud be when outside chores are banned by nature's own decree when cool is warmth in other lands but in the south it's cold when saturday's stolen subtly no relief can we behold october's plans are now mislaid no leaves to rake, no limbs to burn the yard today looks like yesterday no busy work can now be done with mower silent and rakes put down its time to nap and hear the sound of nature's sweetest cry of the snores of time as it slips softly by |

This is so great. I am painting inside, and repairing a shed, cutting on the porch! Michigan actually has two seasons...winter and repair ~Grin. Oh, but the lovely sounds of autumn in the rain, that's worth cozying up to! |

I miss the days of Chicago-land living...of lake effect snow and the smell of street salt. Took my car to the shop last week (now living in the South) and the mechanic turned to me and said, (sans accent)"ya brought this down from the north, eh?" After I asked how he knew, he said it was from the road salt rusting everything. I miss the road salt. Oh, and thanks for commenting. |

Steaven, you are such a lovely poetess. I highly appreciate the gift of your writing ability. I would miss our invigorating Octobers if I were to move down south. Mind you, it would be a lot less work ~ with the not having to rake up the falling leaves! Sending an autumnal hug from up here in Canada, Linda  |

Linda, While I'm never one to critique a comment, I must set one minor thing straight--I could never be a poetess, for I am a guy. I do, however, count that high praise. Hope that I will someday overcome my man-ness (well, not really...not looking forward to singing "I feel pretty, oh,so pretty" just yet.  |

Ida, that it was...cleared off just in time to go to the auction that evening, pick up a few things, and still make it back for a late evening meeting... thanks for reading and commenting |
