Fall Colors Call It is September, but the sun Not realizing August's done, Keeps sending down its hottest rays That keeps high heat within our days. The crickets sing both day and night. If not for that, you'd think it might Still be the heart of summer hours, Fooling even beds of flowers Into thinking they can stay Long after summer's passed away. There are some dried leaves on the grass. The teasels are the shade of brass, But other signs of coming fall, Delayed somewhere and held in thrall, Will soon release themselves, descend And put these hot days to an end! I have mixed feelings then, you know, Reluctant to see this time go, But welcoming the season where The colors call from everywhere!

I liked this. Fall is my favorite season by the way, I do like Summer, but their is just some sort of tranquility and welcoming in the brisk, chilly air and the colorful surroudings. |

Hello Betty Lou This was so very beautiful and Autumn would have to be my favourite time of the year. We are in early Spring and Autumn seems so far away for us. Take care.......Sue I am in motion |

Sue: It seems strange that you are going into spring and we are going into autumn. This is my favorite time of year also. I am hoping we have a long season! Thanks. Betty Lou Hebert |

I don't know what to say about this that hasn't been said. I loved it. Excellent. "Ain't Got no quarrels with God, ain't got no time to grow old. Lord knows I'm weak, won't somebody get me off of this reef" |

A lovely tidbit dear friend. Unfortunately, fall in Florida is much like summer but I do not complain when the snow starts falling on my northern brothers & sisters...  the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Hot weather????? Man you sure have a nicer autumn than we do up here...mind you likely have a nicer anytime-of-the-year than we do. A lovely poem, filled me with envy (as she looks at another cold damp rainy night, after another cold damp rainy day).:blue Maddy |

Maddy: Thanks for responding to this poem. We no longer have hot weather! It has been raining and turned pretty cool. we are now burning wood in our heater! I do like the change from all the heat however. I am originally from Canada,.....Alberta.... and have never been to Newfoundland, but would like to see it one day. Betty Lou Hebert |

Only a few of the trees have started to turn their leaves majestic colors. And Hurricane Isabel along with some rain and wind, dropped hot, humid air on us. It sure doesn't feel like Fall! Hugs, Marti Hear Blessings dropping their blossoms all around you. |

Marti: I'm so glad Hurricane Isabel is over, except for all the mess she left behind. I hope she didn't impact you and yours. The leaves on some trees here are turning yellow...........the first sign of fall........and falling on the lawn. We never have the colors that you do however! Thanks for your message. Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Betty Lou, this is just lovely. The start of Fall is such a gentle time of year. I think that is why we relax and enjoy the changing colours of the leaves. Enjoyed. Chris Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf. -Tagore |

As much as I enjoy the sun and the heat, I'll have to say, I'm ready for some cooler weather. The leaves are already turning color and dropping Betty Lou? Time to get out the rakes huh? Gee, you guys are quite a bit ahead of us. We have another month or so, before we'll start to see any such Fall changes. Autumn is a nice time of year. Thanks for sharing this with us Betty Lou!

"It is September, but the sun Not realizing August's done, Keeps sending down its hottest rays That keeps high heat within our days." Oh, how I can relate to this... Our official high in Phoenix, yesterday, was 107. That was a record breaker for that date, and WAY too hot for nearing the end of September. Enjoyed this, Betty Lou...  When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. -Jimi Hendrix [This message has been edited by vlraynes (09-22-2003 06:02 AM).] |

Richy: You're right about getting out the rakes. I was looking out the window a short time ago and couldn't believe the yellow leaves lying on the lawns. Maybe I'll talk my husband into picking them up with the riding mower! good idea huh? Thanks for commenting on this. We were down to 34 degrees this morning at 5:00 a.m. Now, that is rushing the season! Betty Lou Hebert |

Vicky: Boy, 107 degrees! Hard to believe there is so much didfference between us. Our high yesterday was 70! I am really glad for the cooler weather. We had a dry, extremely hot summer, for this area. Many days of 100 and that is HOT for here. Nice to hear from you. Betty Lou Hebert |
