It is almost fall and the leaves will be changing colors soon in Southeast Missouri. The cotton is starting to bloom. The marching band is practicing every morning before school to be prepared for the Friday night football games. This time off the year makes me homesick for Missouri.
The cool crisp nights are on its way. The cotton carnival is around the corner. The smell of the carnival foods and the American Legion fish and burger stand are a wonderful memory of growing up in Sikeston. It is a small town but it is home.
In Kansas I will one day have the traditions of the season but until then I will be homesick for Missouri in the fall!
