Mother Nature is going through the change

Brilliant maple colors

Picnic anyone?

Once again the driveway is our best seasonal indicator.

Mother Nature is going through the change

She is trying on different outfits,
What to wear today?
Tired of her boring green summer attire
she is ready for a change.

The hot flashes of red oak leaves,
the mellow yellow of the poplar,
let's see, today should the maple
be green or yellow or orange?

Her mood swings are evident in sudden
bursts of wind, like pitching a tantrum
tossing around brown leaves and tree limbs
expecting someone to clean up her mess.

Mother Nature is going through the change
after the brief flash of colors
it will be time to pull out the quilts,
get in the firewood, hunker down for a long winter.
