Autumn is a reminder that each of us in beautiful in our uniqueness
SUMMER TIME IS GONE MY FRIENDS.
Summer time is gone my friends
It slowly comes but quickly ends.
It's been replaced by time called Autumn.
Nature changes hues from top
to bottom
Green gives way to red and gold.
A lovely vision to behold.
Whirling leaves go blowing by
Carrying smells of pumpkin pie.
The air turns crisp the sky fades grey.
Indian corn and bales of hay.
Overcoats and apple cider.
No more evenings on the glider.
The harvest moon so orange and round
Holidays will soon abound.
Chrysanthemum petals start to unfold
A lovely vision to behold.

GOOD MORNING !
And a cheery welcome to fall today.
You all know I love the summertime (the BEACH in particular) but no matter what the season we need to make the most of whatever time we are blessed to have. The coffee definitely tastes better on a cool morning, but it’s harder to get out from under the warm covers.
My weekend was pretty good. I got to shop and visit with my youngest sister, I also got to spend some time on the back patio with my next door sister and we got the front porch painted. The weather was just awesomely beautiful all weekend.
The power came back on at the campground on Saturday morning, but by then I’d made other plans for things to be done around here (the porch) so I stayed home. My 3 days at the camper were already ruined so why not.
Next weekend and the following 3 will find me there once more (baring anymore power outages). The camping season ends on the last week of October and that will not be a camping weekend only one day to close every thing up and winterize til next season.
The campers stay permanently parked on the campsites we have. They really are just little homes away from home.
It’s back to work this morning…
I owe, I owe,
Its off to work I go…
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen, of meadow-flowers and butterflies in summers that have been; Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were, with morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair.
J. R. R. Tolkien

I remeber it was not a good feling when it was time to close up our caravan for winter usually at the beginning of October as we can get a lot of frost after this that was what it was like 30 years ago now with global warming we don't have such cold winters here in Scotland. Not sure where you are other than you are the other side of the pond. Have a good Monday. Love Joan.
As you know our summers are extended here in Florida..but Autumn is still my fav. time of the year...

Glad you got the work done on your porch. Happy to read the power was back on for those who did go camping this weekend.Yes it's much the same at our campsites here in England most close down at the end of October until the 1st March.A time I like to be at the flat or ( apartment) as you call them over the pond.As the shops are not too busy with people and the beach nice and quiet.I shall be going next weekend for a week again, but taking days out to other seaside places as Rooster has a holiday week off work.Yipee!! Love the poems in your post today.I hope you have a good day at work and safe journeys home.Take Care God Bless Kath astoriasand http://journals.aol.co.uk/astoriasand/MYSIMPLERHYMES
Glad you have some more camping time. I would think that would be fun as the days get crisp and cool.
Have a good day.

its nice to know that you still have a few more weekends of camping to look forward to; I like how you think of them as another home away from home; good to remember and reflect on fun times until the spring and the beginning of a new season of camping and fun!
seems like you had a pretty good productive weekend!
