It’s welcome Autumn time It’s welcome Autumn time Everyone is feelings fine Almost all the time It’s welcome Autumn time It’s welcome Autumn time Relax and have some wine Fresh off the Autumn vine It’s welcome Autumn time It’s welcome Autumn time Check your zodiac sign Say bye to summertime It’s welcome Autumn time It’s welcome Autumn time It’s time for hearts to pine It’s part of our design

Now, Bill, I just might take you up on that offer of a glass of autumnal vino. Love the pic, BTW.

Well, have a glass and imagine sitting on the side of a riverbank drinking it with me. Probably wouldn't be wine though. LOL Have a great October, my friend. Bill

It is different in different parts of the world, Maria. I used to own a Tavel Agency here in the U.S.A. I sent a lot of people over to Australia but never got there myself. I think I'd like it there; I sure like the people I've met here at Poetry Soup from Australia. Thanks for the visit and comment. Have a great day, my friend. Bill
