Saturday Puzzle-Contest: Signs of Fall…?
Saturday, August 31st, 2024

UPDATE: The winner is…Pansy Petal!
*~*~*

What with all my drama-drama, pool maintenance kind of fell by the wayside this past week. It’s been a lot for my dd and the girls to keep going. We had storms this week, and unless you’re right on top of the pool, cleaning out the leaves, brushing it, shocking it, etc., it starts to green up fast.

With cooler weather arriving this next week, I think this summer’s pool days are over. I had hoped for at least one more week when I felt good enough to get in the water (which is TODAY), but now, I’ll have to give up that dream. LOL—yeah, I’ll mourn the pool. I’m that devoted to my daily swims.

The good news is I feel more like my usual self today. I’ll still take it easy, but maybe I’ll actually wear real clothes instead of laying around in a nightgown. Progress!

So, for me, letting nature take its course with my pool is the first solid sign of Fall. For a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, what is it for you?

    Starting to have cooler temperatures and our Annual Labor Day Picnic at church.
    Take care of yourself and do what the docs say.

    Not till the leaves are turning. Fall cleanup of the gardens.

    Shutting down the garden is always a sure sign of the end of summer.

    Since fall doesn’t officially start until later in the month, I am still enjoying summer. Otherwise, fall to me is when the Halloween decorations start to appear on the streets. Stores don’t count. I mean they are at least three months ahead all the time. But a skeleton crawling out of the neighbors yard . . . that’s fall.

    I dread winter now that I am older. Yes, the cooler temps are the best sign. Unofficially for me, seasons change on the first day of summer. Everyday we start losing minutes of daylight. Officially though, it is the first day after the changing of the clocks. Just losing the hour of daylight does it for me. So, when it hits June 21st, I start rooting for the first day of winter when those precious minutes of daylight start trickling back!
