Autumn Thoughts

There is a harmony
In autumn, and a lustre in its sky,
Which through the summer is not heard or seen,
As if it could not be, as if it had not been!
– Percy Bysshe Shelley

For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together.
For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.
– Edwin Way Teale

  I am so in the mood for autumn. Very nice photos. Find it comforting to put out the pumpkin, bring in the house plants, trim back the outdoor plants so they can sleep good and rest until spring. And of course, bringing out the afghans to cuddle with. Now if the weather here would quit acting like it’s still summer (high 80’s this week).

  Thanks, Michelle! I love this time of year too. It’s so beautiful, and it is fun to cuddle up with a lovely soft afghan. You know I have an awesome one! 😉 I hope your weather will cooperate soon, and cool off.
