Ninth month of ancient Roman calendarOffers cooler weather, even here in Florida.
Valued by students and teachers for its week-long break,
Even estranged families try to gather on Thanksgiving
Making better memories for the future.
Beautiful, clear skies signal hurricane season's end.
Even here, we'll find excuses for the electric fireplace,
Remembering weenie roasts and s'mores in other places, other times.
