We didn’t receive any rain here over the past 24 hours.

Yes, it’s fall all right. My wife penned the following ever-so-true ditty.

The leaves are falling on me and my house.

The leaves are calling to me and my spouse!

Everywhere that I’m going, all the leaves are a-blowing,

And they’re even snowing on that resident mouse.

The wind is blowing ‘round me and my house.

The wind is calling to me and my spouse.

We’ll soon be hauling all the leaves that are falling

It’s all so galling for me and my spouse!
