"NATIVE AMERICAN SUMMER?"
Well many of the leaves around this area
are down and the ones that remain have taken
on that "rusty color." I'm looking forward to
Indian Summer. That's a period of mild weather,
usually in October or November, that follows
the first hard frost. It's a pleasant time though
the name doesn't stem from pleasantries! Back
when the settlers and Native Americans started
to feud the term "Indian" took on a negative
connotation. "Indian Giver" was used to refer
to someone who gave you something then
wanted it back! "Indian Summer" meant a
time that felt like summer but really wasn't.
Well, whatever its origin, I hope Indian Summer
comes soon and stays awhile! Hope your weather
is fine, that you're well, and that all your NEWS
is good!
