Cider, wood burning, golden-crunchy leaves, and apples....it's Fall! The greenery of summer gives way to the transformation of Fall. So, on this first day of Fall, I share a very special poem from a very special author...
SUMMER'S END
"Summer is over, and the fall has come,
Best time of the year, according to some!
The green of the grass has turned to brown,
It won't be long and the leaves will be down.
The pond is quiet, but the ducks are still there,
Choosing their mates for the coming year.
The squirrels are busy building their nests;
The wind has grown cold, blowing from the Northwest!
The plants are all droopy, the frost hit them hard,
And I no longer sit out in my back yard.
Soon winds from the North will begin to blow,
And all will be covered with a blanket of snow.
But I will be warm all cozy and snug,
Happy as a bug, wrapped in a rug!!!"
Thank you for sharing, Mama! I love you!

Someone needs to do some poem-publishing!
I too love being happy as a bug, and warm, cozy and snug...with Russian tea! It's my favorite time of year!
