The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for August 31, 2011

Don’t worry Alice, you will be joining him soon as well as your entire family.

Fall depresses me too. Maybe because I have to add a year at that time…lol

Fall is so beautiful—howcan it be depressing

I love the fall; hate the sudden stop though.

Don’t fret Alice, he was looking a bit off-color. It was his time.

__I love the colors and the crunchy leaves. It smells crispy.

Fall means we will soon get that cold weather we were wishing for when we got within two days of tying the records for most days over 100°F and the most consecutive days that hot. Then we can wish for summer to thaw out.

Gone with the Wind?

Reminds me of a haiku I wrote: Suicidal leaf Left the high branch too early To wave in glory

Funny thing: Bob didn’t jump. He got all green again. It’s his next door neighbour Pete, who got yellow with envy and sailed away. Maybe because he realised he just lost his last chance with Alice. Coming to think of it, actually it should be Alice who should have left, since she was living next door to Bob and Pete, who would then form a Band and get famous as Smokey leaves…

But the yellow leaf changed identity with the one above it and stayed attached!
