Autumn has arrived y'all!

“Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile.”
William Cullen Bryant


 "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
Albert Camus


"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree."
Emily Bronte

 "Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."
George Eliot

"Summer is already better, but the best is autumn. It is mature, reasonable and serious, it glows moderately and not frivolously...It cools down, clears up, makes you reasonable..."
Valentin, Finnish writer

"Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn."
Elizabeth Lawrence

Autumn - my favorite time of year. Each leaf is a visual reminder of God's perfect creation. Mums. my birth flower. I didn't like them much until recently. Have their colors become more radiant? Or have I learned to love their beauty? Two strays enjoying the warm rays of sunshine in my planter on top of the ivy that I've cultivated so diligently. It's okay. Have a blessed week.

Monday Photo of the week - Mums and Indian Summer


 
Indian Summer
Nothing can steal your heart away
Quicker than Indian Summer days,
When the sun is warm and the shadows are cool,
The lake water stands like a bright blue pool.
The warm sand begs you to bare your feet
The balmy air is meadow-sweet,
Leaves are falling from colorful trees,
And nature has moved in, merely to tease...
She comes with her warm days, just to betray...
For winter is only a breath away!
~Sallie Hinds~


I say better late than never.

I hurt my right wrist - it's better.
We've hung drapes. I finally made a decision
We've cleaned the yard.It's been a long HOT summer.
Regan (our kitty) was sick. He's better.
 
 

I'm ordering new drapes for the living room. I made another decision.
I planted pansies. I planted mums. 
We've made some changes in the house. I made more decisions.
We were out of town to celebrate our baby's 30th birthday.
My brain is tired! 

Please enjoy the photos of the mums. These came from the wholesale florist. Isn't the color variation fabulous?

Thanks for dropping in and giving of your time. It's humbling. May your blessings be many!
