A nippy, dreary, autumn morn today.

Sky invisible, everything above is grey.

Morning mist enshrouding the trees.

Colors of fall embracing their leaves.

Creating a wonderful storybook scene.

Magical portrait - red, brown, gold and green.

Chilly dampness kissing my cheeks.

An eerie silence, no living soul speaks.

Haze falling deeper into the valley below.

Blocking out light from sun's glow.

Murkiness consumes most on the valley floor.

What will this day have in store?

Hearing babbles from the creek.

Adds a warmness to this mystique.

Fence rails act as a guide along the drive.

Summer now past, a new season alive.

Hoping today for a gentle breeze to blow.

Chasing away the fog around my chateau.

Wanting to feel the warm rays of the sun.

Before winter's cold and snows again come.
