The seasons of a simple spirit
Welcome November
Dull November brings the blast
Then the leaves are whirling fast
Q is for....
quietude
~ ~ ~
I love this time of year
we settle into our comfortable chairs of an evening
early nesting with those we love the most
reading by a fire
knitting a sweater....or the dream of a sweater
and then we snuggle up in fuzzy flannel
and pull our favorite quilts up over us.
Perhaps the floor is cold on your toes when you rise
but the smell of warm coffee and the crispness of Autumn

lure you out of your bed and into the day
where there's bright chrysanthemums in the street side markets
and roundish orange pumpkins on every corner
I am thankful for the beauty of Autumn in New England.
It cloaks me in peacefulness and quietude.
Your post makes me dream of that kind of autumn. It is still pretty hot where I live. With the drought, our leaves are crusty brown and lack the color that make this time of year my favorite. However, I do have pumpkin crunch prepared for dessert tonight, and pumpkin spice in my coffee this morning. I'll do my best to make it feel like autumn! #coffeeforyourheart friend
