Very good poem, excellent visuals, Julie!

Although I'm not quite ready to face Autumn yet! It does mean the boys will be back in school, which will be a blessing - I've almost forgotten what quiet days are like by now I think!
We have a TV commercial here where a woman is walking down the street and just starts shrieking - the camera pans down to the sidewalk, and there's an autumn leaf on the ground. That's just about exactly how I feel when the leaves start to change. Another month or so and my hedges will be bare again, and winter will be just around the corner. One of these years I'll be flocking south when it gets cold, but not quite yet!
Love and Big Hugs,
Alice
