Joys of Autumn




Leaves changing colors bright and bold
from green to brown, red, yellow and gold

Season’s harvest -- squash, pumpkins, persimmons
oranges, apples, pomegranates and lemons

Football games
Steelers, Raiders, Vikings, Browns
Crowds cheering when their team scores touch downs
 
Cups of hot chocolate, tea, or apple cider
whichever one you prefer
 
People buying Halloween candies and sweets
for ghosts and goblins who knock on their doors yelling
 “trick or treat”
 
Rains that cool and cleanse the scorched earth
Fires blazing on your hearth
 
Sharing turkey, stuffing and Happy Thanksgivings
May you enjoy all the wonderful things autumn brings.
