It's what they signify...

Then I grab the paper on the porch and front page has a sticker "Back to school" (Gosh I hate those 3 little words!)The anxiety of it all gets me almost worse than doing it. The night before the first day of school is always the worse. Then from there, Open house will be the next dreaded night.

I went out to the store this morning. I bought water and soda then I went by my old house (A's house). The flower were almost dead. Summer was always my favorite time at that house. I loved my flowers. I've grown them little by little every year for almost 10 years. The flower beds in the back yard were just done last year. I loved sitting in the screened porch out back on cool evenings by candle light or sunny mornings listening to the birds.

Back to the dead flowers...I've been gone not only the whole Summer but the ground was actually covered with snow the last time I lived there. He's done a good job on the inside making it look like I never lived there (everything is remodeled and uncluttered), but the outside looks the same. Well almost the same...it's missing a flag on the front porch and my porch swing never got hung. I loved that porch swing. I miss having porches big enough for a table and chairs and I miss having a porch swing.

Seems to me like Fall or Autumn (some say) signifies death and yet for some, it's their favorite season. The flowers die, the leaves die, Summer has died, we celebrate Halloween which flirts with deathly decorations and costumes...
