That time again!  We will be turning our clocks back  next week.  For me it is hard to adjust to at least for a month.  But fall is here,  not only in our changing time, the season is showing us a wonderland  of color, cool temperatures, piles of leaves, bon fires and weenie roasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking out I see squirrels carrying nuts in their cheeks, air conditioners are being shut off or taken out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is something comforting about fall weather.  It is comfy to get out your favorite sweater for that cool morning air.  Apples and apple cider are plentiful and a warm fire and a good novel will  be on the horizon for warmth and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cheers of football fans ring out with the cheering and yells for your hometown  team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before snow makes its appearance let\u2019s have a weenie roast.  I read about a family hot dog roast and what went on. This did not happen to me but to another family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all the mustard, ketchup, chips, marshmallows and necessities were ready, Grandpa was so hungry he grabbed a wire hot dog stick and since the fire was going good decided to cook his wiener  right now. He was so anxious to taste that hot dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well his one hot dog was cooking too slow so he decided to put 2 wieners on the stick. Oh how clever he was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well Grandpa got in a hurry and fell down and landed in his lawn chair. \u201cOh no\u201d  he said, \u201cMy hot dogs, my hot dogs.\u201d Well, those hot dogs had a mind of their own. One went flying up in the air and with a big twist landed in Aunt Mildred\u2019s purse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that very same time the pet dog sat down eyeballing the falling wiener, opened his mouth and swallowed the whole wiener at once.  There is now a rule in that family to only roast one hot dog at a time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like the smells of fall such as apples baking with cinnamon, spice candles burning through the house, and a cup  of homemade hot cider. Yum! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you like fall weather, colors and smells? Do you like apple cider hot or cold? Do you have a favorite fall sweater? Let me know and I will give you a Penny For Your Thoughts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
