Thanksgiving Comes Again

The year has turned it's circle,

The seasons come and go.

The harvest is all gathered in,

And chilly north wind blow.

Orchards have shared their treasures,

The fields their yellow grain.

So open wide the doorway,

Thanksgiving comes again.

 Wishing my dear friends

A Blessed Thanksgiving.

ThanksGiving Greetings

The year has turned full circle,

The seasons come and go.

The harvest is all gathered in

And chilly north winds blow.

Orchards have shared their treasures,

The fields, their yellow grain.

So open wide the doorway,

Thanksgiving comes again.

Receive my wholesome wishes,

For well prepared Thanksgiving dishes.

From my heart to yours,

wishing you all a wonderful 

Thanksgiving celebration.

May your loved ones be with you this day,

And loved ones from a far join you in spirit.

October's Magic

October is the month

When the smallest breeze

Gives us a shower
Of autumn leaves

Bonfires and Pumpkins

Leaves falling down

October is Red

And Golden and Brown

When autumn wind goes running
It does some magic things

It gives the shadows dancing shoes
It gives the bright leaves wings

Come said the wind
To the leaves one day

 

 Come o're the meadows
And we will play

Put on your dresses of
Scarlet and gold

For summer is gone
And the days grow cold
                                                           A Children's Song of the 1880's

Wishing you the Magic of an October Day

Goodbye Summer, Welcome Autumn..........

Once again it is time for the changing of the seasons.  We say goodbye to walking barefoot on hot afternoons, lazy evenings sipping iced tea on the porch, baseball and apple pie at Grandma's.  We say hello to a crisp morning breeze, smell of fresh cut wood for the stove, radiant falling leaves, football and pumpkin pie.  Welcome Autumn, come in with all your beauty, the door is open...................

Autumn was and still is my favorite season of the year.  As a child growing up in Northern Wisconsin,  I can recall the "Scents of Fall".

• Musty oak leaves blowing into drifts
• Savory pumpkin pie cooling on the cupboard
• Chimney smoke from all the wood stoves
• Corn silage 
• Smell of leather footballs tossed from my brother
• Crisp new clothes for the start of school
• Fall cleaning products
• Buttery popcorn at football games
• Sweet hot cocoa
• Smell of new flannel PJ's....that was the best

Here in Southern Missouri, it will be a few more weeks, into November, before the leaves fall, and the winds blow cool and crisp.  We welcome Autumn with open arms, as there is a time for every season, your time is near..............

Happy Harvest Blessings 

A heritage isn't preserved,

It is nourished.

 It grows from bits and pieces,

told and written.

 

 Thank you for visiting with me.

What an awesome Ordinary Day
