Oh Crapsey!

Quick! What did Adelaide Crapsey invent in the early 1900's? If you said the modern toilet, that's very funny but very wrong. It's the cinquain poem! Remember when I tried writing one of those things? Hmmm....feels like it was years ago. And yet, it was only last week. Man, a lot has happened in one week. Halloween, last soccer game, road trip to Texas, election day and the change in the weather. Last weekend the temps were in the 80's and this weekend they're in the 60's. With the leaves constantly falling now it's really looking like November. And if you listen closely, you may just be able to hear them fall.

    We are heading towards the 40s this weekend after being in the high 70's. But yes the trees are almost bare and I feel Thanksgiving and Christmas fever rising up

    I live in Florida...the leaves don't change or fall off. LOL! It does get chilly sometimes, but I haven't seen snow in YEARS!

    I love that photo. And it is so nice for fall to have returned - it was winter here last week. But they are saying the temps are going down so I am not getting too happy.
