Fall 2014 in Colorado

The torrid heat of summer is now in the past

And brisk, bracing autumn has come at last.

 

Another disappointing season for the Rockies is mercifully done,

While loyal Bronco hearts look to yet another Super Bowl run.

 

Mountain aspen are turning hillsides to fiery gold,

As oak and maple leaves show off their colors bold.

 

Fall is the time when we celebrate my favorite holiday,

When for Thanksgiving friends and family come to feast and pray.

 

These golden days we need to enjoy to the last,

For they will soon be followed by winter’s snowy blast.
