AUTUMN


(Photos taken by Lois Miller in upper state NY)

OCTOBER
O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
To-morrow's wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
To-morrow they may form and go,
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf,
one from our trees, one far away.
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes' sake, if they were all,
Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost -
For the grapes' sake along the wall.
~Robert Frost~



Do you like long drives through the mountains in autumn?Do you love the smell of cinnamon and pumpkins?The crunch of leaves underfoot while taking a leisurely walk hand-in-hand with your true love,through the park on a brisk day?The taste and crunch of a fresh apple bought at a roadside stand on a cold November morn? Then welcome!!This is my tribute to Autumn!!

Fall is such a great time of year,the cool crisp mornings,the smell of fireplaces as you walk down a quiet street on a cold night,the warmth coming off a cup of coffee,the smell of nutmeg.There are so many things to love about Autumn, it's almost sensory overload to try and think of them all!!Autumn is very,very special for me, because my wife and I were married in November!!

There are all sorts of links to check out the changing colours of fall,the holidays,and so on. Actually,there were alot more more than I first thought I'd find!!Try some of these on for size:
