Twelve Sights of October

My walks this month have been filled with the scents and the colors of the season's change from hot summer days to cooler autumn weather...a reward for slogging through the humid heat of the past few months.

I have spotted the following in the park as I trudge around the walking track and if you will read my little offering aloud as you would sing The Twelve Days of Christmas, you will get a glimpse of the things I have seen:

Twelve geese a flying

Eleven bees a buzzing

Ten leaves a falling

Nine asters blooming

Eight woollies crawling

Seven maples turning

Six dogs a romping

Five fluffy clouds

Four fishermen

Three grasshoppers

Two gray squirrels

and a warm sun shining on all.
