October's Party

October gave a party

The leaves by hundreds came

The chestnuts, oaks and maples

Leaves of every name

The sunshine spread a carpet

And everything was grand

Miss weather led the dancing

Professor wind the band

The chestnuts came in yellow

The oaks in crimson dressed

The lovely misses maple

In scarlet looked the best

All balanced to their partners

And gaily fluttered by

The sight was like a rainbow

New fallen from the sky

Then, in the rustic hollow

At hide-and-seek they palyed

The party closed at sundown

And everybody stayed

October in Southern Nevada is not like Fall in most places, but it has its own colors and beauty and I am just inlove with it!  We cant seem to spend enough time outside!  I just know it will be over way too soon.  But, in the mean-time, we will spend our days out in the sand and trees and our nights completely exhausted and falling asleep the moment we sit down.
