October First

Today is October 1

Really...???

This year the only way I know that it is 

Autumn is the calendar.

This is what usually tells me it is autumn

October first means changing leaves

chilly nights

sweater weather 

however this year...

The changing leaves have been replaced by 

swaying palms.

Raking and bagging leaves is replaced with 

netting mullet for bait.

Cozy sweaters replaced by 

Minnie Mouse bathing suits.

Playing and jumping in fallen leaves replaced by

building sand castles.

Walking through the crunchy fallen leaves replaced by 

walking on the beach with a lapping tide.

With all the differences 

the same sun is setting upon 

us,  just with a little different twist 

and an extra splash of lime.

Happy Autumn! 

Where ever your 

sun sets.

Wishing You Health and Happiness!
