I thought October would never get here....

Happy October 1st!

I wanted to write a little somethin' somethin' to celebrate this new and hopefully cold month.

Sing the following lyrics to the tune, "These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things".

(And no, that's not Julie Andrews under the bag.)

Leaves that are falling and rust colored sweaters

Sending my college kids emails, not letters

Seeing how much a used textbook can bring

These are a few of my favorite fall things.

Rainy cold days with hot tea that is brewing

Reading instead of the chores I’m not doing

Wild geese seem smart as they leave until spring

These are a few of my favorite fall things.

No more white dresses or bleach for them needed

Labor Day’s passed so wear skirts dark and pleated.

Snuggling in hoodies with those pesky strings

These are a few of my favorite fall things.

When the dog barks

At the school bus

And my kids look sad

I smile and remember – still nine months of school!

And then I don’t feel.....so bad  :)
