On Autumn ~




Come said the wind to
the leaves one day,
Come o're the meadows
and we will play.
Put on your dresses
scarlet and gold,
For summer is gone
and the days grow cold.

~ A Children's Song of the 1880's ~




No Spring nor Summer Beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one Autumnal face.

~ John Donne ~



The milkweed pods are breaking,
And the bits of silken down
Float off upon the autumn breeze
Across the meadows brown.

~ Cecil Cavendish, The Milkweed
~


Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

~ Albert Camus ~


I've been playing with the blog a little bit....
just rearranging and adding a few things,
taking away others....
I'm in love with fall if you haven't noticed dear friends and
I can't help but revel in it
as it will vanish too quickly.

In my tutorial links area,
I've added a link to my post on favorite supplies
if you'd like to see those things I can't live without ~

I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday sweet friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn

Dawn amor, what beautiful pictures, how I wish I could see the Autumn like that here in So. Calif. I guess I have to be happy with the cooler weather and the mud from this new rain and reminding everyone to wipe their feet before they come in the house :) but on the plus side...the leaves on my perssimon tree are changing colors..yay! Every little bit counts :) I like this new layout that you are workin on more pretties to see :) besos, Rose

Lovely homage to Fall...if only it would cool off just a bit here in Florida! It's been sweltering hot, but this weekend we're expecting a 'cool' front..high of 78! HA! Your blog looks great...I'm always messing around and changing mine...looking for that 'perfect' background! Thanks for your birthday wishes, it actually just dawned on me the other day that I will be 55...this may be the hardest one yet...
Have an awesome day,
Susie

Thank you for sharing all these beautiful images of fall ~ my absolute favorite time of year!! I love the photo of the girls with the bonfire!

Thanks for the link to your favorite supplies post too. It's nice to know what others find helpful. I notice I use several items that you like too.

Thank you for visiting my blog and for your kind words about my grandbabies. They are the very best thing in my life. Your little Clara is such a doll-baby. I love her little orange and white socks.

I love your pictures, especially the first on. I used a small copy of that picture to do my first pendant with the glass and solder. I loved it and I ordered my new soldering kit yesterday. Can't wait for it to get here.
Hope you have a wonderful day.
Hugs, Pat

Thank you for the images. I've been playing around on the computer too today. Have a stay home all day kind of day because the roofers are here putting up new shingles. That's the one good thing about wind & hail damage... a new 30 year roof. Have a wonderful day.
