Autumn 's Gift

Soon the leaves will begin to leave their homes, like floating portraits from the autumn sky. Lovely random colors the wind has blown, piles of art at the artist's feet doth lie. The warmth of Summer's kiss soon fades away, the chilling embrace of Fall takes it's place. The long enjoyed hours of the sunny days, are now shorter time for our clocks to face. Smell of pumpkin spice fills the autumn air, and memories of home entice the mind. Thanksgiving a time that family share, the bounty that God has given so kind. As we gather with loved ones on this day, find a sweet memory to take away. 10/14/18

The description of the leaves as art that inspires is beautiful, Wren. And I love the way you introduce us to the Thanksgiving celebration through the scent of pumpkin spice. I hope you created some sweet memories over Thanksgiving too and are now enjoying the holiday season. Congratulations on your win in Brian's contest! Best wishes, Carolyn
