No! It can’t be fall!
Another year is fading;
One leaf has fallen.

Thanks! Fall is such a bittersweet time, the end of the summer with my kids, time to start preparing plants for winter and focusing on work more steadily. I bet you work hard all summer long hours.

You read my words. I read yours too. I’m going to whittle down the sites I follow. Yours will remain:) I believe some people like sites just to have theirs followed. Somedays I get a max of five visits.

I need to do that, too. Unfortunately, I can’t always match up all the blog names, gravatars, http addresses. They can all be different. I don’t want to accidentally unfollow a friend. I tend to remember commenters… Hugs, omtatjuan, you do what you need to do! Brenda

We barely get any seasons here…it’s still hot hot hot! So I love your photos because I do love fall. That red leaf on stones is just perfect. I want to keep staring at it!

I stopped in my tracks. I must have taken 20 shots of that leaf, hoping it would not be blurry. I didn’t look up and see the tree shot until I went by later on my way home. Again, I had to just stop. I love the fall, actually, the colors and coolness and constant flux. Things are going to sleep, and I am a woman who loves to sleep. 🙂

My pleasure! I personally am untroubled by Friday the 13th, sort of the ultimate in scary days. Come to think of it, I don’t seek it out, but the worry doesn’t get much play in my head either. I just can’t focus on that for long. I prefer to think in 5’s, my lucky number. 🙂 Ah, spring, that’s a lovely time of year. But fall has it’s charms.

We are still going through cold breeze now and it still is more winter than spring at the moment. 🙂 I am not too worry about 13 although I won’t buy a house number 13 !

Exactly. I won’t cross the road to acquire a 13, but If the elevator stops at 13, and it’s for me, I shrug off any worries almost immediately. I won’t name a child thirteen either. 🙂

I hear you. For me the sadness doesn’t come from the changing of the season or the cold, but from the realization that next summer, my kids will all be a year older with their baby days long past. That just make me feel a tinge of sadness for the passing of a great summer when we all have lots of time together. I really enjoy my kids.
