dear autumn...

dear autumn,

i am so happy you are finally here...

please bring with you,

so much beauty and color,

sweet smells and inspiration,

that i will drink in all your bittersweet moments,

until so satisfied and full,

i'll coast on my drunkenness

all through a creative winter

until your sister spring calls on us again.

and if it's not too much to ask,

don't forget your cooler days and crisper nights.

we are in deep need of relief, to help heal the scars from flooding and high heat.

i welcome your changes

and

trust you will come through for us.

you are most welcome here, dear autumn.

love,

e

kitty in a bowl...

i hope you find a place to get

COZY

today.

in them old cotton fields back home...

the road between nashville and memphis is bordered by cotton fields.

just right for the pickin.

the soft, white, billowy carpets of gently drifting land is quite magical this time of year.

the scent of the cotton gin permeates the hot air.

the humble farm fields remind me of simpler times and from where we come.

all the cotton stirs up lovely memories of

my dad playing his folk guitar and singing

the old tune...

"Cotton Fields"

by leadbelly

we had a wonderful, but too short visit with my sweet daughter and son in law.

on returning, i can't help but notice the sun lower in the sky and shadows changing in the yard. the light is different and the days shorter.

summer ends this week........

hello

autumn.

so looking forward to your cooler self.

all the cotton, has reminded me of one of my all time favorite movies, starring Sally Field,

"Places in the Heart".

a must see!!
