THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
AUTUMN is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter
AUTUMN whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key
AUTUMN is an introspective season, when stray thoughts of the mind dive into the mystique of the soul
- Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

This looks like a fun meme... Your six words are FUN! I also enjoyed your other posts...
Funny you have a blog about Zanzibar (the island off the coast of Africa) My students listen to a story song about Zanzibar... (about a boy that procrastinates doing his homework---which is a project about Zanzibar) small world!
All the best, Maria
Wow what a great picture! Reminds me of small town America =)
Wait time translates to weight time.
When the food is fast,
sometimes the service is slow—
life’s like that, you know.
My Six Words
I'm not a huge fan of McDonalds when I'm at home. And when out of my element, traveling, I really try to partake of the local foods. But sometimes there's nothing so comforting as those golden arches.
Thanks for playing 6WS!
You sure did get that right
Fast Food just doesn't seem as FAST as it used to be :(
That is quite a neat picture. Those golden arches are so darn famous!
Wow, you actually managed to make the Golden Arches look moody and ethereal!
I took the "what tarot card are you" quiz on your blog -- I'm the moon. Very cool.
That is a line up I have been in many, many times over the decades! My little one can spot the giant golden M from a different time zone it seems.
And I LOVE this Superior Snap!
Hi Gemma, I am liking this meme too. I combined it with a Saturday, 3rd post for the week, blurb on my Jim's Little Blog.
You are right about the Queues but they alway move fast.
Did you that in the states they are experimenting with outsourcing the person at the window? They have or had several order takers in Colorado. Why not. Overseas, like India, might be a problem because of the poor reliability of the phone lines.
My favorite at our MacD's is a MacDouble. It used to be a Cheesburger until they took one of the cheese slices out. That would a $Dollar Menu item.
..
Ah yes, the fast food with the long wait. Kind of defeats the purpose at times...but not much you can do. :)
Happy belated 6WS to you! :)
