GOD'S GOLD

Oh, the glory of this autumn day,
When the trees unfold their gold!

Oh, how lifted is my spirit, Lord,

When such beauty I behold!

Like precious coins, each leaf holds on
Through sunshine, fog, or haze;

The memory of this rich display
Will warm my winter days.

~~By Helen Kitchell Evans.~~

Swoop,
Scoop,
Pile them up

In a stompy pile and
Jump

Jump
JUMP!

AUTUMN LEAVES

One of the nicest beds I know
isn't a bed of soft white snow,

isn't a bed of cool green grass
after the noisy mowers pass,
isn't a bed of yellow hay
making me itch for half a day--
but autumn leaves in a pile that high,
deep, and smelling like fall, and dry.
That's the bed where I like to lie
and watch the flutters go by.

~~By Aileen Fisher~~

The kids and the dog ( and a sweet Lady Bug)
had a fun day in the leaves.
We had planned to rake them up and
put them in the trash bins.
Of course temptation set in and they started jumping in it.
Isn't it supposed to be work before play?
Heck, would you blame them?

These are the times to just STOP,
slow down and savor these moments.
They will all too soon be grown.
It was a pleasure for this Mama to see them so happy.
