Today... is the official first day of Autumn. I felt it's presence last week when we were blessed with cool breezes that past by each morning. We left the doors open and enjoyed each cool passerby. These last days have been warmer, a lingering Summer. Today I say... Fall... Leaves... Fall.
Falling Leaves
Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night's decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
Emily Bronte 1818-48
JOYfully in Him,
I agree! Lovely poem. I am so ready for fall.

I love fall! It always seems like such a family time to me. I am not sure why. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I just found out that the leaves do change colors around our new state, so I won't have to miss that aspect of fall! Yaaa!
