There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
GOOD MORNING !
We managed to get through Monday with no major problems, and I think today will be a pretty good one too! The bright colors of fall are beginning to show here. Over night leaves began changing colors. The evenings are getting darker much earlier and at 8:00 last night I headed for my ‘trip to the beach’ (bubble bath and icecream) and got to bed earlier than I have in quite awhile.
One of the men that works for us also raises chickens and his wife was telling me about how the chicks always go to the hen house at dusk, in the summer it can be almost 10 pm, but as the days shorten they go in earlier and earlier. No one has to round them up, they go in by themselves. I must be like those chickens. I do remember my Grandma saying they ‘went to bed with the chickens’ back on the farm. Now I know what that means.
Cluck , cluck

…Each autumn day that brings us a blossom or a highly-colored leaf is a day of beauty and loveliness. Each autumn day that brings us a song will be a day of cheer. All go toward nourishing the heart with promise and hope, for hope springs eternal from the heart and dreams of man.
