found some lost poems... Fall Fell

I just found a poem I had my granddaughter Emily write down for me while I was driving way back in 2006! The little bit of early fall color here in Lafayette I saw on my way to and from an appointment this morning was inspirational, but what I wanted to do was to get out and take photographs with my new cell phone and post them on Facebook, but it was cloudy clammy and rain-misty, so I didn't pull over and do it. Besides, I found out since I bought it, that it didn't come with enough memory. ( I bought a new chip but it won't take that much memory.  Now I have to take it back and get a smaller one to see if it will send my pics to FB with that one, tsk!) Well, anyway , I was just looking for a piece of paper to write my CVS list, while parked outside the store near St. E. central, but then decided to wait to do the shopping after I got home and picked up the really good coupon they sent me. But I found this little notepad in the cubby where I keep ATM bank deposit slips, that was perfect for using to write down my shopping list.  In looking for an unused page., I found it! It never got posted in my blog! In the years since, I have become less intense about the changes brought by the weather here except to grumble a lot when its cold too long or cloudy too long or rainy too long, and this reminded me of the days when I was a freshly transplanted Hoosier. I just loved the changing weather then, sigh....

Falling leaves everywhere as far as my eyes can see!
Like big colored snowflakes, covering the ground, making the tree tops bare from the twirling wind up there.
Herolding winter to come,
except  for the few that dare to cling for dear life round empty bird nests now revealed.

and I found this one too

All is quiet in the pine forest
Except in the quiet evening air, is heard the rustling of fallen leaves over the pine needles.
On the way back home, powdery snow slithers across the street path before me as I drive.
Who would have thought a little blizzard would strike so soon?
I barely got the candy cane lites in the ground before it froze solid! Christmas is in the air...

There is another one but I have to give the girls an afterschool snack now.
