Fall

Is there anything better than 
The faint smell of smoke from a fireplace on a crisp cool day?
Is there anything better than
Being huddled in the stands watching the local football team play?

Is there anything better than
Raking up leaves in a pile for the kids to run through?
Is there anything better than
Seeing the sunlight glistening off the morning grass dew?

Is there anything better than
A white powdered donut with a glass of fresh apple cider?
Is there anything better than
A Halloween night with ghosts and goblins and spiders?

Is there anything better than
A horse drawn hayride out in the pumpkin patch?
Is there anything better than
Watching a squirrel gathering his winter stash?

Is there anything better than
The change of the seasons, anything better at all?
Is there anything better than
This time of year, the summer turning into fall?
