Must Be October

A  L  O  H   A !

" I've lived through 

some terrible things 

in my life, 

some of which 

actually happened. "

Scary October!

Every child knows

that witches & goblins

haunt the frosty eves.

Every adult sees

the dying leaves

and feels the chill. . . 

B O O!

Yes, October is

a scary month.

I Love October!

Our blog-0-sphere

is rich with color

and visits,

animals &

children returning

to school.

Even if we do not

especially

go out to meet it

Autumn finds us

Northerners.

I love sharing it

with YOU!

Keep those posts

coming :-)

And you of the 

Southern Climes

keep that Spring

alive in our hearts

with YOUR gems too.

I'll be here

in the sub-tropical

sun. . . 

sharing it with

YOU

Thanks

A Serious Working Fence

" A good neighbor smiles at you 
over the back fence, 
but doesn't climb over it. "
                       Arthur Baer

" Think about the photo 
before and after, 
never during. 
The secret is 
to take your time. . .
 Then, however, 
you must 
be very quick. "

Enjoy Your Day!
