Autumn is here, and with it come my conflicting feelings. I'm a Summer girl at heart. Even my coloring is "Summer." Yet I do appreciate the changing leaves, the cooler nights, the demise of the mosquitoes. I enjoy apple-picking and making stews and soups. I love lazy Sundays of reading books to the low drone of televised football games and wearing cozy sweaters. So, if you cannot be Summer, you might as well be Fall.
An Autumn Greeting
"Come," said the Wind to the Leaves one day.
"Come over the meadow and we will play.
Put on your dresses of red and gold.
For summer is gone and the days grow cold."
