Autumn.....I wasn't thinking of fall weather.....just happy to have it cool down....but it has been cold out... I don't think the cooler weather would be so bad if it wasn't for the windy conditions...it is really blowing...so it feel cold...it's only the first of Sept....but I feel like hauling out the fall decorations...but then I will have to put them away, so I talked myself out of it...I have to confess, I turned on my heat this morning just to take the chill out .... we didn't have a nice long Spring, and I feel Autumn will pass by just as fast....the one thing I'm happy about is I had my weeping willow tree removed, so I won't have to rake all those tiny leaves with the switches....what a messy tree...but it was beautiful when it was healthy. My son bought it for me a year after my husband died....so it was about 16 years old...

I miss the fellowship that the neighborhood had when my husband was alive.... all my neighbors would get together and help each other rake leave....we would have a chili party over the fire pit every fall along with a hobo dinner...but people move, die, and it's sad to think how things have changed... now that I could use the help and would enjoy the chili, hobo dinners we use to share, it's over.... change...again....I hate change....but everyone has to realize that it will happen...one day you will have to face change, if you haven't already....life was simple back in the olden days...I miss it...

Yesterday we had a horrendous day , heavy rain high winds continually, it was more like winter than fall.
Today the sin is shinning the wond gone , what a difference a day makes.

It's funny Yvonne how turned around mother nature is....was it because when we were young children it was just Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter...and it never seemed to be harsh weather...but maybe it was, and I just went with the flow as a child, and now as an adult I see how dangerous and ugly weather can get....hope your well and it's nice hearing from you....judy
Judy, I always like reading of your memories. YOur neighborhood must have be really somethin', back in its heyday. What fun you all had. I hate change too. Seems like happier days were in the past..oh well. We must march on...so they say. Take care!
