The yard is mottled with lumpy patches,
Some brown, some yellow, some green.
It’s as if the ground is braced for change
Inevitable, helpless, exciting change,
Large acorn trees tower above.
They’re teasing.
Maybe we’ll drop more nuts on your struggling green landscape;
maybe we won’t.
Or perhaps we’ll let Mother Nature decide,
as she sends wind and rain storms that speak of impending winter.
Time to nestle indoors, and let thoughts turn to home heating bills, football games, and Christmas ads that start way too early.
Time also to reckon with the relatives.
Some will blend in great around the Thanksgiving table.
Others… not so much.
