A TIME FOR FALLING LEAVES


FALL, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TIME OF THE YEAR.  WHEN A BLUSHING 
AUTUMN COMES TO PROVIDE US WITH APPLES HANGING OFF FLOURISHING TREES, IT IS TIME TO TAKE IN THEIR RUBIOUS COLORS.  AS THEY HANG 
FROM THEIR STURDY STEMS WE ADMIRE THEIR MULT-COLORED SHADES OF SUNBURNT YELLOW, GOLD AND BROWN. 
INSIDE THE ORCHARD WE SOMETIMES FIND LADDERS, GREAT BIG BUSHELS, 
STRAW AND LINEN HATS WORN ASKEW, AND SOMETIMES BIG GOLDEN SMILES THAT SAY, " I'M LIVING IT UP! "  
WHAT BETTER PLACE TO BE THEN UNDERNEATH AN AUTUMN TREE, WHERE 
EVERYTHING SHIMMERS WITH NATURAL LIGHT.  
LEAVES DANCE AND SWIVEL BEFORE YOUR EYES, THEN SLOWLY LAND IN THE PALM OF YOUR OPEN HAND. 
THE SUN GOES DOWN AND IT IS TIME TO KEEP SILENCE WITH THE BASKET 
MOON AND THE CELESTIAL EVENING STARS. 
SO GO AHEAD AND EASE INTO THIS SEASON WITH A QUIET SOUL. 
HELP THE APPLES SAY GOODBYE TO SUMMER.   AFTER ALL IT IS AUTUMN, 
A TIME FOR FALLING LEAVES THAT SIGH.

I love orchards, and its been a while since I visited one, I think its time to return to one Jay, crunch on a nice crisp apple and appreciate all of its sweetness. We are never too old for that are we ? Thanks for the visit dear Jay :)

Dear Rose, What a great portrayal of autumn's splendor; it is a feast for the senses. Your richness of words captures the essence of the season, from the beautiful colors of ripening apples to the gentle dance of falling leaves. I love how you gave me such a sense of tranquility and connection with nature, to pause and savor the fleeting beauty of this transitional time. Amen! Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
