hello fall ~ goodbye summer

I was up before five this morning.

By seven I had done all of my morning stuff....

Coffee,

a little catch-up on the news,

breakfast,

check the internet,

Bible reading & prayer,

my mat exercises

and cleaned up the kitchen.

It was seven am.

It was still pitch dark.

This evening ,

darkness will come back way before I am ready.

Not good!

Don't get me wrong, I love the fall season.

I love no humidity,

a "little bit" cooler temps,

changing leaves,

brilliant sunshine & bright blue skies.

I love Halloween,

wearing my sweaters,

my boots,

and

having "good hair days,"

I especially love Thanksgiving,

gathering together,

chili & cornbread

and even football 

because it makes 

Bubba and Gus so happy.

But I don't like darkness and cold weather.

I know, too bad,

It happens every year you say.

I will adjust.

I will hang mini lights at my windows and light candles

to dispel the darkness.

I will enjoy the fireplace

and wrapping up in a soft, warm throw,

 I will survive.

But you better know one thing.....

I'll be counting the days until summer comes again.
