Just giving some appreciation for a lovely fall day (not too brisk, very sunny) and the fact that I had a good walk with the dogs to take advantage it. I'm kind of wiped out now but it was worth it.
Besides, I can always take a nap. :)
Hope it's nice where you are, too.
It's not FB but I click 'Like'. :)
ReplyDeleteMom and Dad are bringing a care package from us. Hope you have fun while they are there. Let us know how you make out on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteLove you!
A poem by Mary Oliver to augment the sentiment:
ReplyDeleteSong for Autumn
In the deep fall
don't you imagine the leaves think how
comfortable it will be to touch
the earth instead of the
nothingness of air and the endless
freshets of wind? And don't you think
the trees themselves, especially those with mossy,
warm caves, begin to think
of the birds that will come — six, a dozen — to sleep
inside their bodies? And don't you hear
the goldenrod whispering goodbye,
the everlasting being crowned with the first
tuffets of snow? The pond
vanishes, and the white field over which
the fox runs so quickly brings out
its blue shadows. And the wind pumps its
bellows. And at evening especially,
the piled firewood shifts a little,
longing to be on its way.
Love you -
Tanya
