"When the Frost is on the Pumpkin"

Here we are at the end of October already. There are pumpkins on every front porch.The days are getting shorter and the nights cooler.  One morning we will wake up to the wonder of the first frost.  We will walk outside and our footprints will dot the wet sidewalk.  The soon dormant grass will glitter and the leaves of the cascading vines will drip shiny tears as if saddened by the coming winter.  I love these autumn days!  Cool and crisp clean air, the brown haze of the summer heat gone from the now bluer than blue skies.  This is a time to think about the year that is fast coming to a close.  Doesn't nature always reflect the seasons of our life?
