Reminds me of childhood ideas of home and hearth with a fall harvest...
The caramel leaves seem to fall from sky In waves, as zephyr sings through chimes and eaves Its song that whispers a fall lullaby As a gentle rustling wind through autumn leaves September a time to slow down, be still Slowly now we have less light_ more dark A drawing to home and hearth seems our will Beckoning to fill with bounty our hearts Caramel sauce for those crisp apples near The heat of summer is in distant past None of that snow of winter yet to fear Watering chores of summer now are past All things for coming winter out in place Now one can slow to a snail's simple pace In honor of Brian Strand's contest... *Note Click on"About That Poem"

The farmer in the dell lives a life that's swell. With each and every season, he draws God's love from the well. And when days are done and life has been spent. He lives with the promise that he's heaven bent.

Wow Sara those pictures are giving you awesome inspiration and with the coming fall season it is time to start taking the garden off. My beets are slow and still small so leave them a few more weeks then I can make my soup. I have taken most of flowers out of the pots and put them away. Robins left about 2 weeks ago so looks like early winter. In a month it will slow to a snails pace. ha ha love phyl
