As asters fade in autumn’s frost
And leaves come tumbling down,
The land grows gray with lengthening shadows
~ Awaiting its pristine, snow-white gown.

Flakes alight on sleeping soil,
Dusting sod with dreams anew.
The hush of winter’s new arrival,
Softly bids the Fall adieu.

How lovely and lyrical Linda.
It is a beautiful day is it not?
Seventy sunny degrees and the trees are spectacular!
~Autumnal hugs~

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

Dusting sod with dreams anew.
The hush of winter’s new arrival,
Softly bids the Fall adieu.

and so we bid her adieu, until we meet again...one last look around

I have a weather forecast for ya....low
80's,  high 70's ALL week.  grass is still
green,  though only cut once every two weeks
now...the birds are acting normal...my back
yard is NOT filled with leaves yet,  there
is still shade from the trees....the squirrels
have not filled their little cheeks with
about a buhzillion acorns yet....

and you say goodbye to Fall? Nahuh,  not
just yet.....Or did you forget to tell me
you live somewhere UP there???

Nancy ~ I'll take your word for it. I have been working in my office in the basement of my home the entire day ~ and it is very cool down here! I had so much puter work to do and I cloistered myself away. I guess it put me in the mood for this sort of chilly write! lol

I'm in no hurry for winter's arrival ~ but I will enjoy it once it arrives!

Enjoy the rest of your autumn!
Linda

Inked One ~

Last weekend while driving in the countryside, I came across one of the most charming autumn scenes that I have ever seen. I still can see it in my mind's eye.

Autumn leaves me breathless!

Magnus ~

Yes, I do live UP here! But according to our enchanting friend Nancy, it was gorgeously warm and sunny up here as well! But as I mentioned to her I've been in my basement office all day computerizing.

Aw, but tomorrow is another day!

Enjoy your autumn ~ and don't fall! lol

Wah, Wah, Wah - I no want winter and you can't make me!

Oh yeah, all that beautiful white stuff and the magic and the glitter and all that winter wonderland perfection - but darn it - why can't we have all that beauty and 80 degrees at the same time??? Huh?  Huh?

Jeeez teasin' - sorta.  Enjoyed this Linda -

Hugs - Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
