2012 Autumn, back to school and big changes...
The kids are heading to a new school, embarking
on a promising new year of learning and growing. We had an extremely busy summer with the purchase of our beautiful new home in the country. The kids feel like we moved into the forest or a park with all space and mature trees. We feel so very blessed... words can't express how happy and content we are here. We have much to be thankful for heading into the season of Thanksgiving♥
Where we love is home
Home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
As always, back to
school remains ever bitter-sweet as I miss my sweet babes as they go off on their own adventures. We enjoyed the summer reading program at the library and always had volumes to read under our shady trees. Autumn is almost upon us once again and I
like to pack a short poem as a small piece of home to take with them
when they go to school.
Autumn Bird Song
Over the housetops,
Over the trees,
Winging their way
In a stiff fall breeze.
A flock of birds
Is flying along
Southward, for winter,
Singing a song.
Singing a song
They all like to sing,
"We'll see you again
When it's spring, spring, spring."
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.
An Autumn
Greeting
"Come," said the Wind to the Leaves one day.
"Come over the meadow and we will play.
Put on your dresses of red and gold.
For summer is gone and the days grow cold."
