There is a harmony in autumn, and a lustre in its sky,
which through the summer is not heard or seen,
as if it could not be, as if it had not been!
~Percy Bysshe Shelley
I cannot endure to waste anything as precious
as autumn sunshine by staying in the house.
So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.
~Nathaniel Hawthorne
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Autumn you fill my heart with gladness,
Take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles,
That’s what you do.
For the morning sun in all it’s glory
Meets the day with hope and comfort too.
You fill my life with splendor,
And somehow you make it better…
~Excerpted and adapted lyrics
by Van Morrison
The Mighty One, God, the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to where it sets. ~Psalm 50:1 ✝

You have picked a couple of great pics for this. Especially the cat tails, from the angle of photo the smaller blades look like lit candles. They both are perfect for the words.

So beautiful Natalie. What a lovely evening to have my service restored, after the construction workers cut the phone line to my apartment. This post is breathtakingly beautiful, and a wonderful first one to see after all my frustration. Thank you so much my friend. (((HUGS))) A.

Thank you Natalie. It sure is glad to be back, and the rest of the week looks so much better. A friend and I took our power chairs out for a drive today, and saved both our sanity and nerves that way. My only regret was that I forgot my camera. Next time though.
Loads of love and hugs.)))) A.
