Unselfish Autumn

Unselfish Autumn empties herself out with gifts of summer's maturity
All of her bounty, never hoarded, in blessings of her fertility

Hello Sam - Thank you for sharing all the glory of autumn with us. She is my favorite season for all the obvious reasons for she has it all. I very much enjoyed your intake of unselfish. How true. Thank you for sharing your poetic talent and imagery as well. Have a wonderful day. Take care

Greetings Lisa. Thank you so much! Please forgive my delay in responding to your lovely message. Three family birthdays, two family parties, Easter, a house remodel and visitors have all contributed to my delay! I am truly touched by your heartfelt note. I too love autumn. It occurred to me that autumn never holds back her bounty of harvest, color, amber moons or mellow days. Thank you for coming to sit with me to enjoy this wonder filled season! Blessings! All the best!

Hi Tom! I so agree - it is a beautiful season of wonder, awe and magical colors that gradually create this glorious picture we call autumn! Have a great weekend! It is going to be in the 80's here - our Indian summer. Over Fork Over.
