a new season.

  small steps, edging my way closer to fall, books and delicious smells.

A new journey.

  another new day, a chance to re-start, begin a-fresh. 

A new season.

  delicious smells of fall, crisp leaves, old, new, worn books, the smell of cider, the chill in the air, steam rising from homemade soup and crackling bread.

A new life.
 
  Old unravels, dirt is reveled, layers are shed, new life is welcomed in.


 w e l c o m e   f a l l  

Golden leaves,
Crackling fires,
Crisp cool winds,
Sweet, warm cider,
Books and nooks,
  Cozy knits, a
Pencil and 
many papers.
Fall sheds old, 
Prepares for new.
Welcome fall,
We do love you.

  School was started yesterday in my home; children were woken by gentle taps on the shoulders with an accompanying whisper, books layed out and were studied, cups of tea sipped while golden leaves were whipped about outside.   Why hello there, fall!  We love you so.   The colors and sensations, the books and baking, oh -- I truly love it.

do tell -- what is your favorite thing about fall?

    I love autumn, period.
    I love coffee, sipped on chilly days while hugging my arms tight wrapped in a warm sweater.
    Endless scarves, whipping in the wind.
    The crisp air that bites the nose and turns your cheeks rosy. Autumn is a favorite, I love it all.
    I admire your artwork. I truly wish I had the talent.
    I love your expanded blog, by the way!
    with love,

  5. hmmm....I think I like the spirit in the air the best about fall--the air is crisp and has a certain autumn smell, and there's just something different about breathing.
    by the way,I love that watercolor leaf drawing!

  18. The crispness of the air and the kaleidoscope of colours as we move towards the "first frost on the pumpkin"! I also like throwing open all the windows and baking cookies as the very cool autumn air wafts in to greet to me!
