Autumn's Smile

long shadows

golden light

red rushing leaves

Autumn

...

what is it about this season that makes one sigh

do we feel a bit of relief from the summers' crazy days filled with all our projects 

running here  ~   running there 

although these days are filled with much work

harvesting the last in the garden, canning, buttoning up

it is a sense of "well done"

Fall is the time for lingering evening dinners

stews and soups

baking bread

evening fires

long walks though the colorful woods

tis a time for reflection

  autumn 
  the year's last 
  loveliest smile 
                   >>. William Cullen Bryant

winter is an etching

spring a watercolor

summer an oil painting 

& autumn a mosaic of them all

garden walk

Good Morning Monday!

Definitely feeling the wane of summer.  

The colors are deepening.

A few trees have yellow in their leaves.

The garden is in full maturity.

Come with me on a walk in the garden .....

to be overcome by the fragrance of flowers 

is a delectable form of defeat  

Beverly Nichols

flowers seem intended for 

the solace of ordinary humanity

John Ruskin

blue thou art .. intensely blue

flower, whence came thy dazzling hue? 

James Montgomery

a weed is but an unloved flower

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

when you have only two pennies left in the world

buy a loaf of bread with one

and a lily with the other 

.. Chinese Proverb

flowers don't worry about how the're going to bloom  

they just open up and turn toward the light 

and that makes them beautiful 

 Jim Carrey

enjoy! 

have a most wonderful week ahead ....
