Today is the first day of fall! Who is ready for pumpkin pies and pumpkin spiced lattes and pumpkin scented candles and pumpkin... Okay, you get the idea, I love pumpkin EVERYTHING! To celebrate the autumnal equinox today, I have a new illustrated poem for you called "I Love Fall". Text I Love Fall by Brandi Peterson authorbrandipeterson.blogspot.com Whether you’re tall, Or whether you’re small, Everyone can appreciate the season of fall. The leaves change their lovely hues, As trees begin the season’s snooze. The squirrels scurry to collect their seeds, To store them up for winter feeds. The mums burst with blooms so bright, To paint the hillside, a dazzling sight! Momma makes some pumpkin pie. She loves fall, and so do I! If you enjoy my poems, you'll LOVE my book!

Did you visit the beach or play in a sand box this summer? Recall those sweet memories as you enjoy this poem together. (text)   How to Build a Sandcastle By Brandi Peterson A sandy beach is a perfect spot, for building up your castle plot. Get a bucket and a shovel. Fill it up and pack it level. Now, turn it over really fast. Lift it gently to make a cast. Repeat the process one by one, until the sandy work is done. Decorate it with twigs and shells. Populate it with crabs and snails. Stand beside it and say “Cheese!” Mommy wants a picture, please! If you enjoy my poems, you'll LOVE my book!
