"The clump of maples on the hill,
And this one near the door,
Seem redder, quite a lot, this year
Than last, or year before;
I wonder if it's just because
I Love the Old Place more!"

Oct 3

"Seasons of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has over-brimmed their clammy cells."
-   John Keats, To Autumn 
Hug and love. XX. Stay Safe.

"I love fall! Fall is exciting.
It's apples and cider.
It's an airborne spider.
It's pumpkins in bins.
It's burrs on dog's chins.
It's wind blowing leaves.
It's chilly red knees.
It's nuts on the ground.
It's a crisp dry sound.
It's green leaves turning
And the smell of them burning.
It's clouds in the sky.
It's fall. That's why...
I love fall."
Good night. Stay safe.!!

"Across the land a faint blue veil of mist
Seems hung; the woods wear yet arrayment sober
Till frost shall make them flame; silent and whist
The drooping cherry orchards of October
Like mournful pennons hang their shriveling leaves
Russet and orange: all things now decay;
Long since ye garnered in your autumn sheaves,
And sad the robins pipe at set of day."
-  Siegfried Sassons, October
It's cancer time and so we think;
It is time now to wear pink. XXX

Oct.3

Imagine there's no cancer,
It's easy if you try,
No pain or suffering,
Or waiting just to die.
Imagine all the people,
Living worry free,
Without that ticking time bomb,
That no one else can see.
You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one,
That hopes the world will be cancer-free,
So we can live as one.
October is Cancer month.
Have a great afternoon/evening. :-)

ecipe For The Soul
Fold two hands together, And express a dash of sorrow;
Marinate it overnight, And work on it tomorrow.
Chop one grudge in tiny pieces Add several cups of love,
Dredge with a large-sized smile, Mix in ingredients from above.
Dissolve the hate within you, By doing a good deed;
Cut in and help your friend, If he or she should be in need.
Stir in laughter, love and thankfulness, From the heart it has to come;
Toss with genuine kindness, then share with folks who may need some.
The amount of people served, Will all depend on you ...
This recipe can feed an entire world, If you really want it to!
Have a wonderful week.!!Good night. Stay Safe.!!

We are the sum of experiences that we encounter as we go through life. Day to day struggles and triumphs are experienced by all of the world's creatures. As human beings, when we encounter a challenge, we have freedom to choose how to react. Every decision that we make leads us down a different road. We will never come to exactly the same crossroads. Every decision that we make has significance. The tiniest choice that we make reverberates throughout the entire universe.
Have a  good October. XX

"The leaves are green, the nuts are brown,
They hang so high they won't come down.
Leave them alone till frosty weather,
Then they will all come down together."
Good night .Stay safe.!!

Oct.1

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness.
Just because they are not on your road doesn't mean they have gotten lost.
Keep going down your road in peace and good health.((hugs))
Have a good night / day.XX

"October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came-
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band."
- George Cooper, October's Party
Happy October .XX
