Laughter is missing
Another rusting leaf falls
Sounds echo
And duty calls.
A season
Such as this
Requires tolerance
And will move on

They do indeed require tolerance…sometimes more than we think we are capable of. Nicely Nicely put my friend 🙂

Autumn can be a good time for introspection, you know. Shorter days, cooler temps, kids back in school … not a bad time at all for thinking and contemplating stuff.

Yes, and nothing better than doing so wrapped up in a blanket, eating apple crisp and just being with those who make us smile. Hope you’re enjoying your day. My son and I are watching the Texans play. It was time for some down time…

Oh no, I love autumn! All those misty mornings and changing colours. Funnily enough, I’ve heard that the US ‘Fall’ is an older English term than the UK ‘Autumn’. A bit like ‘yield’ on road signs, which sounds a bit 18th century to us.

I love autumn, as well. Probably my most favorite smells, invasion of senses and topographic transitions, Alastair. I giggle at the idea where y’all find us dated. So good to see you, Sir.
