End of Summer

September spells the end of the summer
Halloween decorations will soon appear,
The signs of cold weather are a bummer
September spells the end of the summer,
Appearance of a frost is not a newcomer
With few sunny days; cloudier and drear,
September spells the end of the summer
Halloween decorations will soon appear.

Halloween is already here in my mind, so I can get rid of this 90 degree weather!

Well, I'm sure you know how I feel about cold weather! On a 90-degree day I can shed clothes. On a miserably cold winter day I can never put on enough to be comfortably warm.

I for one can't wait till the Fall season begins. Though I will miss Summer I am excited about cooler weather. ~Anna Kaianah

Everyone has their own preferences, to be sure, Anna Marie. I do enjoy the fall, but spring and summer are clearly my favorite seasons. Fall is always a harbinger of cold weather, and I don't like that. In summer I can always take off clothes, but in winter I can never put on enough!

Were getting there Milton leaves are starting to turn here in New York. Frigid air at night. The rain and overcast cool days. Getting ready already cleaning and organizing garage. Tuning up riding snow blower I have a huge driveway. Winter storing the Winnebago. Looking for fireplace stove in case the grid goes down this winter to stay warm or if we run short on not enough fuel plenty of wood around. Buying extra gas the price here ihas dropped to as low as 3.90 a gallon. So much to do because

So true. I don't have that much to do or that kind of responsibility. I live in a small house. I do have a gas fireplace, so I can keep warm if the power goes out. I can even heat a can of soup, so I won't starve. I just let nature shovel my car out, because I'm not going anywhere when the roads are treacherous.
