It’s official………………it must be early Fall………….it was warm yesterday (almost 90) but even though it was warm, leaves were falling from the trees! That means Fall right? RIGHT???? It won’t be long before my yard looks like this…….I just know it!
Mom even put the Fall wreath on the front door……that’s another sure sign……..see? I may be old but I notice stuff! That means the leaf machine will be coming out of “summer retirement” down in the basement soon. Dad will haul that thing up and jam it into the garage.
I even changed my Blog Header to something Fall-ish…………..another sure sign.
Mom moved all the summery stuff in her closet to one side and all the Fallish stuff to the other…………yep – that means something too!
I don’t care about all this truly – makes no difference to me…….I’m just happy to be here!!! No matter what season it is……………How about you? What’s your FAVE season????
Hugs,
Fall-ish Sam
