Fall!!!! Autumn!!!!

The autumn sun is low across the sky most of the day

The morning grass is wet and cool 
There is mist and fog in the valleys
We shut our windows now, even crank up the furnace in the morning
Fall!!!
Autumn!!!

Homecoming parades, friday night games
Pots of stew, chili, roasts, baked bread
Anniversaries and birthdays
The shadows cast are long
And the color, oh the color!
Fall!!
Autumn!!

Warm days, but with that cooler breeze
Cool days, and even cooler nights
Sweaters, long pants, jackets, hats
The hummingbirds no longer come to feed
The geese flying in an inverted V head home across the lake
Fall!
Autumn!

Post-season baseball, pre-season basketball
Early season hockey and mid-season football
Stores filled with candy and costumes
Oh-oh! Need socks this morning
Apples and more apples

Fall
Autumn
