Fair to middlin' of nowhere

The dawn breaks orange
through a sullen sky,
casting an autumn tinged light
on turning leaves and damp streets.
The last of the warm moves ahead
of the cold front coming in.
Migration careens above the open fields
and covers the open telephone wires
with chirps and squawking.
Shriveling jack-o-lanterns sit abandoned
on cob webbed porch steps.
The grocery store is advertising
pumpkin pie filling, two for the price of one.

kids on their way to school have this weather thing figured out...they wear their jackets with shorts!
I like pumpkin pie, but I must eat enough of it during the holidays that it takes a year before it sounds good again. ~L

I walked Zoe this morning wearing shorts and a jacket, been doing it for years weather permitting.
