Out on the Porch

Wonderful little book to read
while sitting on the porch.
Fondly recalling pleasant days
 when life moved more slowly.

"It has become that time of evening

 when people sit on their porches, 

rocking gently and watching the 

street..."

   ..."Out on the Porch"

BOO!

When black cats prowl

  and pumpkins gleam,

May luck be yours 

    on Halloween!

 "May your life be like a wildflower, growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day."

Autumn Gold

Our Golden Ginkgo Tree - Spectacular when backlit by early morning or late afternoon sun. 

The leaves will soon drop, and will drop rapidly and form a golden carpet around the tree.

Golden Maple Leaves

"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."

Leaves are falling ...

“The simple things of life are best. An hour of sweet solitude, a cluster of bright yellow mums, the call of quail in the meadow. It doesn’t take much to please us. Our elusive goal after another makes us hurry by some beautiful times. It seems autumn will stand still while we do other things. The trees lose their colorful leaves and they are no less pretty, but to see them in all their phases is even better.”

Autumn

 "Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love that makes life and nature harmonize."
