"The breezes taste of apple peel.
The air is full of smells to feel-
Ripe fruit, old footballs, burning brush,
New books, erasers, chalk, and such.
The bee, his hive, well-honeyed hum,
And Mother cuts chrysanthemums.
Like plates washed clean with suds, the days
Are polished with a morning haze."

"In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year, bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil.
And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such superb color effects as from August to November."
- Rose G. Kingsley, The Autumn Garden, 1905
"By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer."
- Helen Hunt Jackson

"The air is different today
the wind sings with a new tone
sighing of changes
coming
the harvest gathered
a flower, a nut
some mead, and bread
a candle and a prayer
returning the fruits
in thanksgiving
to the grove
and receiving
it's blessing
again"

Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's
still a gift.
~ Regina Brett
Draw from family and friends, feel like that
small-town person. The achievements, the materialistic
possessions really then become to mean less.
Every accomplishment starts with
the decision to try.
I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage.
They've experienced pain and bought jewellery.
