What Autumn Brings

Fireflies fade into darkness, their glow becoming dim. Apple cider's spicy fragrance fills the air. Children's laughter, sounds of happiness within. Nature's fall landscape, vibrant color everywhere. Days dawn fresh, bright and clear. Light fades into dusk with a soft gray mist. In a purple velvet sky, twinkling stars appear. A lovely scene of diamonds upon amethyst. Darkness comes early, the nights are cool In front of a fire, becomes the place to be. Red glowing embers, appear as a fiery jewel. It is mesmerizing, a beautiful sight to see. Time to acknowledge what this lovely season brings. The tradition of gathering together is age-old. To take the time to say thank you for so many things. Nature's autumn, its own treasure of burnished gold.

What a beautiful description of autumn, Sandra. This is a fave for me too! I haven't seen any family since last November because of the virus. Not sure if I can make it through the holidays alone. Maybe I could lift my mood if I spent more time outside enjoying all the lovely sights you describe. Hugs, CArolyn

Thank you so much Carolyn. Thrilled that it is a fave. I am alone for most holidays, but its been so long that I have gotten used to it. I decorate for every holiday and make it my own special day.
