seasons end . . .

summer season is coming to a close

school busses were on the road at 6:30 am

leaves are tinged with red & orange

my primroses have returned with the cool in the air

I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Autumn is the mellower season

and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits

Samuel Butler

we would sing and dance around
because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade

he found himself wondering at times

especially in the autumn

 about the wild lands

and strange visions of mountains 

that he had never seen 

came into his dreams

J.R.R. Tolkien

Fall has always been my favorite season

the time when everything bursts with its last beauty

as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale

Lauren DeStefano

Autumn...the year's last loveliest smile.

William Cullen Bryant

Fall Delights .......

 I truly love this time of year

Is it the angle of the sun 

that makes it seem so intense

colors so deep and rich

shadow so long

the sky a darker shade of blue?

changes in the air ..........

          I just love the changing of the seasons... 
                                 there is such a stir in the air!

Mornings are mistier, days are shorter, stars are brighter.

Time to make soup and bake bread . . . . 

breathe it in ............ {sigh}

there is something incredibly nostalgic 

and significant about the annual cascade 

of autumn leaves
