Autumn Morning

leaves of all colors
raining from the trees
not fierce
more sprinkle like
gently floating to ground

squirrels racing away 
as I walk onto my porch
with my coffee.
Their fluffy tails 
lingering a few seconds
behind their determined legs

my man is asleep
he works nights but this is okay
I like my solitude in the morning
I am finished with cuddles, 
enjoying my day
Cat rubs against my legs
to claim me.

I reach down and give him a few pets
Dog shows up quickly
jealous so of course I have to 
reward her too with a couple of pets
She likes them under the chin

I am glad for my fluffy robe and 
faux fur lined slippers this morning
The air is cold on my face.
Showing me a glimpse of winter.
I smile, enjoying the idea of snow

A perfect description of a beautiful Autumn morning, gown, fluffy slippers, pets and strokes under chins, oh yes, and a cup of coffee, and solitude, good for the soul - love the image this write projects. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
