Autumn Changes
The leaves so green in summer turn to yellow-red in fall
I feel the weather changing when I go outside to play
And it seems to me the leaves have different colors every day.
I like to see the apple trees, changing with the year,
Full of fruit and bending low, now that fall is here.
I love to rake their fallen leaves into a colored heap,
And run until I hit the pile, shouting as I leap.
When I see the poplar trees reach for the autumn sky
Their golden spires against the blue, and watch the wild geese fly
On their way to warmer lands, I want to fly along.
Oh, Autumn, take me with you, I can change my summer song.

It can be exciting and even scary to start a new school year. As much as I loved summer as a little girl, I enjoyed the beautiful changes of Autumn even more.
Have you started school yet? This is the perfect time to work daily reading aloud into the family schedule. Whether you read as homework, or for a break from study, reading is a way that families can share time and experiences.
Have a wonderful school year!
