I know it's 100 degrees outside...but I have begun to notice the signs lately...of impending seasonal change. In the air...just a hint of fall. The trees beginning to droop, preparing for that annual surrender, children getting ready for school...so many things. I so love summer...and I so hate to see it go... so...
Goodbye My Friend
Days still long and gentle,
In the offing…signs from afar.
Summer sun is fading…
Autumn door…now stands ajar.
In the goodbye month of August
Come the warnings all too clear.
The air so subtly changing…
From the time I hold so dear.
Hint of fall now on the breeze…
I treasure every day.
Winds of change blow through the trees
Moving silently this way.
Soon…and very soon…
A chill will find my soul.
And settling there
To my despair…
Will leave its winter cold.

And here is a difference we have: I LOVE FALL!!! Winter's OK, too.
Then again, I don't have a pool in my back yard... ;-)
