Quiet, restful Summer took us venturing the season that matured from early Spring. But now it's facing change, adventuring to the stage that bends to Autumn's call. Blissfully canceling direction, enters Fall to soon create new glories all its own, as Summer's pastel colors overhaul to golden, burnished hues new days will bring. Air becoming cooler, daylight even fades as the sun sets earlier each day. Landscapes turn to ash till each pervades bright Autumn leaves that fall from every tree. Left meandering near open places, quilts of colored leaves grace the withered lawns; while naked tree trunks stand like waiting stilts- to sleep in Winter and awake next Spring.
