Autumn’s Arrival
No!
It simply cannot be closing in on Halloween again.
For Heaven’s Sake, it was just summer!
Still, there have been unmistakable signs.
How about falling leaves and a little nip in the air?
Or whole aisles of Halloween Candy at the supermarket?
Yes – Something is amiss.
Virginia’s had an unusually cool summer –
cooler than California I wager.
Oh, I do love Autumn in Virginia!
But is it really time to post Pumpkin Pictures
or my yearly Witch Warnings?
The Perils of Texting and Driving
Virginia Views 
And we have daffodils, waking in the morning to light and birds singing and the promise of more to come.

Just so weird to think autumn is here. Still trying to figure out what happened to spring.

I love your witch warning. I’m with you. How can it be time to think of Halloween? We turned the heat on last night when our guests’ teeth were chattering inside the house. That makes Autumn seem more appropriate.

It does feel like time is flying ever faster… snow shovels tomorrow?

Oh, my. It just can’t be autumn yet: not with Harvey and Irma and Jose rolling around. Our weather gurus tell us there will be two or perhaps three more weeks before another cool front heads our way. I’m certainly ready for a little frost on the pumpkin, and some pretty mums.
That witch cracks me up. If only people who text while driving injured only themselves. Unfortunately, too often it’s other people who suffer. You ought to suggest that witch to someone for a statewide anti-texting-and-driving campaign. Wouldn’t it be a great PSA for television?

The critters seem to be wise to this early change too. This morning I saw a family of deer, a ground hog, and 3 turkeys all at the same time and all chowing down, presumably to fatten up for winter. 🙂

Like I said, “Nooooooo.” I am not ready to leave spring yet, much less summer and onto snow shovels.

Thank you shoreacres. Glad you like the witch warning, and of course I agree with you about the impossibility of a winter onslaught so soon.

I don’t know how it got to be September already. Late September, at that!
