Fall Is the Artist

Fiery colors begin their yearly conquest of the hills, propelled by the autumn winds. Fall is the Artist

    I listened to your daughter’s music while reading the blog :o) Impressive enough is her skill at playing, but I was really wowed to know she WROTE the piece! You must be very proud. Loved the colorful flurry of leaves and fall scenes — it matched the music. Ok, I’ve got a nice fall fix…Thank You.

    Hey Deb!
    It was wonderful to peer at your gorgeous photos and visit with some members of your family. Just noticed the LOVELY and UNIQUE purse that Aunt Nan was carrying! Gosh, your mom looks young! So nice that you are able to have their companionship..
    Beautiful!

    Thank you for sharing your fall tour. Beautiful pictures! My favorite thing about fall. Back into the house, crocheting, sewing, gift making, spending more time out and about with my friends. The respite before winter. I am not a winter person. Would stay in the whole winter if I did not have to take care of my chickens and go to work each day.

    My Dear Friend Deb,
    Thanks for such a wonderful post. Fall is my favorite season by far … I LOVE it! Your beautiful photos were a treat, and it’s possible that you might even have had a smidgen more color than we got up here this year. Our leaves are flying fast and furious these days (we’re supposed to get a FOOT of snow tonight!!!) … so your photos will help prolong this beautiful season for me. We’re on the same page when it comes to picket fences, too. I absolutely love them! Long walks in the woods with leaves crunching underneath my boots are one of my favorite activities this time of year. I adore the ‘smell’ of fall, too … that earthy, organic scent of fallen leaves and acorns. Autumn blessings to all, Cathi
    P.S. Henry David’s cabin has YET to be crossed off my bucket list. I can’t wait to get there … hopefully soon. But a few months ago I bought myself the most wonderful (unabridged) edition of Walden I’ve ever seen: Laura Ross’ version which is very tiny in size, and has Thoreau’s ideas for living a truly simple, transcendental life in bold-faced red letters. A neat idea for the ‘bible’ of simple living!

    Ah! Would have loved driving around to look at ole silly leaves with you! And Walden Pond!?!?!
    Tried to listen to your daughters song, but it said it was unavailable…will try again. A blessed and happy Autumn to you!

  6. Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. I am a Nov. (12th birthday girl too. Autumn is my favorite time of year.
