Dreariness of cold
The fall of summer long gone
Green no more 'til spring

The cycle of life
Nature in its glory days
Hibernation gone

Life renewed with warmth
Springtime rids the cold in bloom
Hear the singing birds?

Summer has risen
Another revolution
Sunny days ahead

Another year gone
The fall of summer returned
Autumn brings the chill

      You got a long way to go. Come on down to Florida and you will have at least a couple more months before it gets too chilly. It’s been 67 in my house all day today. Warmer outside, but I’m good with that. It will be back up in the 80s in the next few days. 🙂

        Well I’m late responding and I’m going to agree with you. Celebrating tonight, getting ready for Biden’s speech. Hope there isn’t a great retaliation from Trump supporters. 🇺🇸

        Me too! I was hoping to get back on my book for November, but I think it will have to wait a little while longer. 🙂
