Autumn Afternoon

The sky is blue, the river’s gray And autumn leaves are on display. The buildings ‘cross the river hide Whatever’s going on inside. The flags all flutter, strung up high And bicycles go rolling by. The dogs, on leashes, bark or yip, Their owners tightening their grip. A mighty tugboat pulls a barge; A nanny strolls by with her charge. The joggers, dressed for summer, pass As couples sprawl out on the grass. A lovely autumn afternoon – This weather will be gone real soon, So I’ll enjoy it while I can, For who knows Mother Nature’s plan?

That's a splendid idea, Ilene. Enjoy it while you can, for it won't be long until the snow will fly.
