Last Day of Summer

Today marks the last day of summer and tomorrow Fall arrives. I've always loved the fall, it's the transformation period between summer and winter, and, there is so much to look forward to in the Fall. Everything from football and the NYC marathon to Halloween to the beautiful show nature puts on each year.

'Fall, leaves, fall'
by Emily Jane Bronte

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.

I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night's decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
