"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

a glimpse of autumn~




here it is raining
it has been raining for a few days
its going to continue raining
for many more days to come


Autumn is definitely in the air
temperatures are cooling
clouds are coming in
rain is here
slowly the day is getting darker
 all things living are starting to show change


mother nature is beginning her grand show


“Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence.
Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance.
Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence.
Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.”
Yoko Ono


i have shared winter spring and summer with you
now for fall

i have long waited for this moment


i am one who welcomes each season
excited for what is to come


“Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower”
Albert Camus


with each color that comes to be
so alas does their seeds


they will break away
and scattered across the land around
some will sink
start to root
while others will simply die


"Once more the liberal year laughs out
O'er richer stores than gems or gold:
Once more with harvest song and shout
Is nature's boldest triumph told."
John Greenleaf Whittier


it is a time upon us
to gathering our riches
from the warmer days behind


prepare mentally and physically
for the colder days to come


harvesting and reaping
all that you have sown
 
 
i will leave you with this
a final glimpse of fall
 
please do come back tomorrow
and see what else i saw

Getting dark early here, too, but the leaves have not yet started to change. Ironically, they did in the summer when it was so hot and dry and now, with the rain we have gotten, it's like they have a new lease on life.

A hauntingly beautiful post. Autumn is here and these past days I have greeted her with an equally coloured palate of the crackling coal and wood kindle fire. How they dance!

Beautiful post, sadly here we have, and have had, NO RAIN. Severe drought - and altho the leaves are turning - it is without the vibrancy of past autumns. They are just turning brown, crisp, and dead. Very sad.....

Dear Fireflies said...

I think fall is the most magical of all seasons. Everything seems to hold a mystifying vibe and I felt alive whenever autumn came. But now, living in a tropical country, I seek for autumn up high in the mountains. I find the same air, the same scent, but alas no blazing colors.

I do miss it terribly. So thank you for sharing this, my dear friend. :) ♥♥
