Fall in Texas

The acorns littering my yard, walk, and driveway
There is insurmountable evidence
That there’s really fall in Texas
As I lay in bed and hear the acorns
Hit the roof and roll down the drive
No we don’t have the splendid foliage change
The folks up north may experience
Yet there’s definitely a feeling in the air
Change is coming soon.
My mending bones can feel it
Rain is in the forecast
Today may feel like summer
But we all know it won’t last
Apple cider tastes extra special this time of the year
Our lawn is starting to yellow too
And geese flying over the house are hard not to hear.
The leaves are falling and the temps are getting cool
Soon it will be impossible to keep them from the pool.
