Autumn: A poem written from ‘Remember When’

Leaves turning colors

Falling to the ground

Raking, piling, jumping

And throwing them all around

Scurrying like the squirrels

To finish the fall chores

Anticipating the cold

With closed windows and doors

Gathering the last from the garden

Putting it to rest

Canning fruits and vegetables

Preparing all the best

Silos filling, air is chilling

Kids are back in school

Days are shorter, fall is here

Nights are getting cool

Planning upcoming holidays

Carving pumpkins and then turkeys

Always treasuring the ones we love

Making new fall memories
