Autumn Poems

Gardner Village Tea stained RS

 

Besides the autumn poets sing,
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the haze.
~Emily Dickinson

Autumn Lane RS

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
~George Cooper, “October’s Party”

May your week be filled with Joy in every way.

Stop by and visit Ms Susan at Out door Wednesday.

Fields of Gold

1 grass n grain colla RS

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You’ll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold

Sting (Lyrics from Fields of Gold)

Stop by and visit Mary at Little Red House for Monday Mosaic. There are some wonderful vision there.

Thanks so much for stopping — I really do appreciate your time.

Autumn- Canyon Colors

Filed Under Autumn | 49 Comments

Canyon Road 2 RS

I love my camera– yes it true; I have a THING for a “thing”… But this delightful object brings a focus to the joy in my life, that my often foggy memory can’t do. 

 Forcast calls for 6″ of snow in the mountains tomorrow.

On my day off this week the mountains were whispering to me … “hurry, come see us!”

Fall leaves RS

With paint brush in hand, look at the artistry Mother Nature unveiled.

 

Canyon RS

Traffic was quite busy on the winding canyon road… but each person I encountered had a stunning smile on their face.

Please be sure to visit Susan At A Southern Daydreamer,who brings us to another Out Door Wednesday…

Colton RS

But look at this little Bugger!! We had such a delightful day… he is too big– all of 2 years old now.

Just like Melissa at Inspired Room (where she is celebrating make overs) Mother Nature does her best ever transition from Summer to fall. Visit her by clicking her name above.  Also, Julia (at Hooked on Fridays)  wants to know what we are hooked on this week… for me is Beauty … beauty in everything and everyone around us!

Autumn Delights

Autumn Bench

The Autumn by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Go, sit upon the lofty hill,
And turn your eyes around,
Where waving woods and waters wild
Do hymn an autumn sound.
The summer sun is faint on them –
The summer flowers depart –
Sit still — as all transform’d to stone,
Except your musing heart.

How there you sat in summer-time,
May yet be in your mind;
And how you heard the green woods sing
Beneath the freshening wind.
Though the same wind now blows around,
You would its blast recall;
For every breath that stirs the trees,
Doth cause a leaf to fall.

Fall Bench coll

Stop by and visit Mary at Little Red house, where she hosts the Mosaic Monday.

Autumn-Scarecrows

Filed Under Autumn | 21 Comments

Mrs Chicken RS

You have to bare with me on this far fetched story — :) I have been working full time 6 days a week lately AND trying to keep up my blog, so yes you could say I am a little rummy… but play with me here a bit! 

Mr. Farmer has worked very hard all summer long… even Ms. Clucky, his prize winning chicken can vouch for him! His corn fields are full of wonderful corn!

Colored corn RS

The kind of corn that is FULL of colors– some folks even call it CANDY CORN (though kids would definitely disagree) — the kind of corn that dirty-rotten CROWS love to Snap up and EAT!

red corn

 He wants to make sure his Red Prized corn is safe…. Whats a farmer to do? 

 

I know!!

 

I have an idea! (okokok…its a stretch!)

Bud and Cassie RS

Everyone—Meet Bud and Cassie– :)  not so scary Scarecrows — but aren’t they just the  BEST you have ever seen?

They stand approx 6 feet 6 inches! HAND crated every inch!!! If they don’t scare off the crows they certainly will help Welcome in Fall.

Before SC RS

The patio setting before Bud and Cassie arrive! (I tried to round up some lingering Crows for demonstration purposes, but I must have scared them off with the circles under my eyes!)

Details, Details…

Cassie Close up RS

Cassie– up close and personal.

bud close up RS

Oh yes, and that Dashing handsome BUD…

 

Harvesting friends

And look– they have already started attracting admirers!

 

Autumn… A time to Harvest Friendships!!

Thanks so much to Julia, who hosts Hooked on Fridays party , Melissa, at Its a Beautiful Life and even Bev at Pink Saturday. ( I know, I have kinda pushed this one, but if you look VERRRY carefully there are some still lingering PINKS in our pots!)

 In Honor of Havesting Friends, I am spot lighting Claudie at Bubblin Over –  She has been nothing but darling to me, since I started my blog, and I have to admit our new friendship simply blossomed because she has such a Snappy verson of MY name :)   ( At first I kept thinking she was just typing Claudia … with a typo… but nope… its CLAUDIE!  Vistit her and say hi!

This has been a blast of a First week of Fall with help my very VERY BEST FRIENDS Beeb and Poppz.  They are simly the best and I can never thank them enough for their love.
