and so today we lit our yummy pumpkin spice candles which traditionally signals the start of the fall season for the E family. I love the fall season! Aunt Rebekah sent us two beautiful mums for my birthday (thanks Reba!) that adorn the front entry. I changed the wreaths on the door, bought some candy corn and pulled out all the punkin decorations. The house has been transformed!
Why is it that every year around this time I have the desire to paint the foyer orange? I am squelching the urge yet again....
Autumn
O season of ripe beauty, you I greet!
Whose heart is love's calm wisdom at its throbbing core;
Your deep hues and myriad colors make the soul's wings beat
And lift a lover like me to your ambrosial shore.
Through you Nature weeps its precious golden tears,
In you a mortal eye could glimpse its native Immortality,
O endless fount of inspiration to the poet-seers
To be bound by your embrace is to be truly free!
A glad earth bathes in your benign and lustrous smile
And man's heart thrills with an unknown rapture and delight
By your whispers and footfalls and flute-call beguiled,
An ancient kinship links him to your celestial height.
A brimming of golden sweetness in your dreaming eyes
Fills the world with the beauty of a realm divine,
The sun's last rays serenely trickle from your purple skies:
I send my love and song and call your blessings mine.
