Cooler Weather

Autumn leaves are beginning to fall

Not that I am complaining at all

The skies above shift from sunny to gray

I never know what will come from day to day

I’m good with it all because the heat has abated

Mother Nature needs to be congratuled

We are losing three minutes of sunshine a day

All I can do is shout hooray!

Some folks love the heat of the sun

At my age it is really no fun

I find I work better in cooler weather

When nature and I work together

I have a lot out back that needs to be done

But in the heat of summer it’s really no fun

Some people move south for its warmer clime

But to me the cooler weather is really sublime

No snakes no chiggers no ticks

I can work out back and get in my licks

I’ll see the results when it comes next spring

And that to me is a wonderful thing

I hope I can continue for many years more

But life never lets me know what it has in store

Whatever it is, I’m happy to say

I’ve enjoyed these many years at play
