Welcome Autumn

Autumn is coming.

You know it when you hear the crickets begin to sing

as the sun makes it's early exit.....

when the water coming out of the tap no longer feels as if it's been boiled.

Kick off your shoes.

See how much cooler the earth feels to your bare feet.

At our house autumn means dig out your hiking boots,

grab your camera and head for the mountains.

WA-HOOO "Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

Nature's peace will flow into you

as sunshine flows into trees.

The winds will blow their own freshness into you,

and the storms their energy,

while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."

.....John Muir

"Autumn is a second spring where

every leaf is a flower,"

.....Albert Camus

"Autumn burned brightly, a running flame through the mountains,

a torch flung to the trees."

.....Faith Baldwin

"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house.

So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air."

.....Nathaniel Hawthorne
