Written for: Poets and Storytellers United Writers' Pantry #36: Change of Season (posted by Rosemary) "Hello wordsmiths, this is Rosemary. And we're in September already – so soon! Here, it's the beginning of Spring. For most of you it's the start of Autumn – or Fall, if you live in the USA. (We can't call Autumn 'Fall' in Australia. Most of our native trees are evergreen and don't shed their leaves.) So we're right at the point of change." "It's that for me personally, too. I get to join in the prompting now, for the first time – whether devising some of the specific topics for our Weekly Scribblings, or hosting the Writers' Pantry where you yourselves decide the actual subject matter." Summer seemed the shortest of seasons people losing businesses, many unemployed. Awful illness spreading, pleas for treatment, a cure–there isn't any. We look forward to Autumn, still masked, hoping for knowledge of what to expect. Scientists are faced with this grueling task pressured by need, and political stiff-necks. Leaves will change color as they always do each year. Pumpkins will be plentiful to pick, and apples in scented view. Following season, our thoughts turn to wool. Surely by Winter, we'll have an answer and our lives will begin a new chapter. https://poetsandstorytellersunited.blogspot.com/

Yes these are difficult times. Meanwhile summer changes into autumn.I’ll hope you are right that in winter we will have an answer I am a bit less optimistic It will take a while before a vaccin has been tested, produced and rolled out.

We can only hope that we will find our way out of this darkness. Too bad this happened in an election year when the powers that be need to ignore it to try to get reelected. It’s like sheep being killed and scattered without a shepherd.

Sadly so many humans tend to fight Covid their own way with denial. Let’s hope a vaccine is found soon.

Yes, but not rushed through without proper testing.
