Ode to Autumn

Day 273

What shall we talk about?

Back to school will be coming soon and autumn is just around the corner. I have probably mentioned it before, about a dozen times, but I love the fall. Sooo many good things happen in the fall.

The temperature returns to bearable levels.

Football season; professional, college and high school levels, begins.

Life here slows down again after the summer rush.

The harvest and beautiful fall colors.

Cold apple cider and hot fresh doughnuts.

The witches, ghoulies and ghosties and Halloween candies.

Canning and baking and homemade preserves.

Basketball and hockey take their turns as a new season begins.

The Thanksgiving feast with family and friends and Lions football on TV.

Those who have gone before will be remembered and stories will be told.

When the snow flies and the ground turns brilliant white.

A jolly old man in the bright red suit, gets ready for his annual ride.

And for a brief moment, all is right with the world.

Until tomorrow,

Ken
