Frosty cold morning
Bright rays of sunshine
Barely warm the day
Sunlight on fall leaves
Ripping through the autumn clouds
Soft warm rays of light
The turkey is done
My belly set to explode
Time for a quick nap

This is how I felt yesterday about 2 P.M. I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving had a good day. I know I did. Have a great weekend.
Sight:
Her common sense fails
She opens the old front door
Slips inside the house
Taste:
Mouth filled with dryness
Her throat turns to sandpaper
Saliva like dirt
Touch:
She feels the floor squish
Hands trace the soft rotten wall
Brush aside cobwebs
Smell:
Her nose sniffs and snorts
Filled with the dusty cold air
Rot, mold, and decay
Hear:
Behind her – footsteps
Creaking across the old floor
Swish of an ax blade
Clock running out fast
Ball resting on the goal line
Time for one last play

Discarded pumpkin
Final Halloween remains
Broken on the ground

Saw this yesterday when I was walking with my daughter. Kind of sad to see it for some reason. One season out and another one swoops in. Christmas trees will be there soon.
