FRAZZ
The last week or two have been ablaze with color here. We have had a couple of nasty days (like last Sunday's World Series game) but mostly it has been warm and bright. I love this time of year with the crisp air and all the glorious colors God sends our way. The nights are cool and very dark, the stars bright and clear. The trees turn such wonderful colors before they begin to drop their leaves and chill till spring.
I stole this from yesterday's Frazz cartoon, the Sunday funnies are in full color and this one is full of bright orange, red and yellow trees. Frazz is writing a song with his acoustic guitar in hand:

The Midwest's climate poignantly
descrives in sweet analogy
the pace and temporaity
the seasons and our lives reflect.
I like the part especially -
the chilly breath of urgency
in sync with the cacaophony
the pigments in the leaves project.
We're warned against complacency
while reassured empathically
that aging isn't entropy:
It how we reach our fiery peak.
That blinding blowout brilliantly
asserts a truth we need to see.
So pity, then, the retiree
Who moved where autumn doesn't speak.

Yes I too like this time of year when the trees begin to fall. as they lay on the ground and their leaves turn brown. and you have to chain saw and rake them into piles for the bullsozers to come and haul them away along with much of your lawn, leaving ruts in the dirt. and the cool brease calling you to come sailing where you know it is all the more enjoying knowing you have other pressing things you might should be doing.k sara
Very funny, but unfunny John.
I don't know what the winter has in store for us. I hope it is not as far out as normal as our summer and fall has been. (The climate change is getting a little scary.) Whatever it is I have pretty much determined I will be doing a very minimal amount of complaining about the cold and snow. It has to be pretty awful and even bizarre to come close to the southern coastline states. Poor things.
