I've had enough of winter now, I'm ready for fall to return. When I have to go outside in the cold I grump and do a slow burn!
I like the sun and not the wind, I'm at a later-life stage. I've reached the point where I like the warmth, The temp should equal my age.
I sent the above poem to Monica (daughter), and she replied:
We haven't seen the winter, No snow, no wind, no cold. It seems this Indian summer Might soon be getting old. Our coats are dangling high above The boots we've set aside. And the gloves are at the ready Should the cold ever arrive. Preparing for the blustering blue Of winter's sharp collide Makes us anxious for the weather And Christmas to coincide. See, tomorrow might bring us snow And more comes as the week moves on We soon will feel the burn of fire From shoveling far too long. But we rejoice, for every year We wish for white and bright. The sparkle of that blanket Truly makes the season right!

This is a poem I found and thought it fits November perfectly.

Christmas is coming it won't be long Til we are all singing a favorite song, The decorations are all aglow Treats are waiting in special bowls, The best news is coming on Christmas Eve The birth of our Savior to all who believe.

The air was cold The wind was wilder, Yesterday is gone Hope today is milder.

Here we are at the year's shortest day, From here things will get lighter. New "gubment" leaders will soon be in place... I think the future looks brighter!

The winds of change are happening Cousin Carl seems to be leaving, Don't know why, what or how come We need to calm down and keep breathing!

I wrote this back in 2014 but every year I think of it.
Coming out of Summer Slipping into Fall Shaking off the heatwave Ready for football
Then one day it hits you It's only 40 degrees Reaching for your jacket You think you're gonna freeze
But it only gets colder With Winter setting in Ice and sleet and snow Are upon us once again
Then finally you catch a break It warms up and melts the ice Just then you realize That 40's pretty nice

We've been real close to zero, And some nights far below... This winter's being very cold For days and weeks in a row.
The forecast now is saying That a thaw is coming soon. We'll see those 40s temperatures, And that'll be a real boon!!

Winter is just boring Plus it is just plain cold, I need something exciting NASCAR needs to be bold, Get back to the way it used to be These new rules just get old.

The temps are starting to fall again Flurries, cold and winds just blow. We were spoiled with the warming thaw Put on your snuggies and sit in the suns glow.

New rules and foremats for racing The hierarchy thinks they need, Don't know why they think it is good for us They must be smoking weed.

Racing starts the season All fresh and ready to go, Baseball follows soon after And sets my heart aglow, With the anticipation of spring Life won't be moving slow.

Ginny, you're getting good at this! You're taking Randy's place As the guru of the poetry thread. You're really setting the pace!

Here we are, it's racing again, My how the time does fly! I'm curious to see what the new rules bring, We'll see as time goes by.
