Autumn Wind
When autumn wind goes running
It does some magic things.
It gives the shadows dancing shoes,
It gives the bright leaves wings -
When autumn wind goes running.
It curls the bonfire's tail of smoke
And shares a little whispered joke
With cornstalks who delight to prattle,
It turns a seed pod into a rattle -
When autumn wind goes running.
From our dear friend Victoria
Apple Picking: visit an apple orchard, Farmers
market, make Apple prints
September
The breezes taste of apple peel.
The air is full of smells to feel-
Ripe fruit, old footballs, burning brush,
New books, erasers, chalk and such.
The bee, his hive, well-honeyed hum,
And Mother cuts chrysanthemums.
Like plates washed clean with suds, the days
Are polished with morning haze.
John Updike
Grandparents Day: Bookmark or can for pencils?
This little can, made of tin,
Was washed and saved to use again,
I added paint, I added glue
I made a present just for you.
It’s for your pencils or your pens,
You can show it to your friends,
It’s not empty for you can see,
It’s filled with love to you from me.
My Grandparents, before my Grandma passed away♥

September Stargazing
Queen of the Night
With fall season around the corner,
new constellations begin to take centre stage in the night sky. Cassiopeia, the
Queen, is a striking zigzag pattern of five bright stars that lie near to the
North Pole star, Polaris. Greek legends
say that the vain queen of Ethiopia, wife of King Cepheus, was condemned by the
god Zeus to the heavens after boasting that her own beauty rivalled that of the
god's own daughters. Cassiopeia now sits on her star-studded throne, eternally
circling Polaris - never to set below the horizon. Andrew Fazekas, TheNightSkyGuy
