Friday....October 1st....Already??

I just can't seem to grasp how fast the days are flying by...wow....October!! Hard to believe that our spring and summer are gone and here we are in autumn...

Had a fun day today meeting Pam for lunch and getting to meet one of her online friends..Sue from Toronto area of Canada..it was such a blessing and I am looking forward to keeping in touch with her! Did some shopping after I left the "girls" and this evening did some more with hubby. Hope all of you had a wonderful Friday.... Here is a poem I am sharing with you..sort of says it all!! Have a wonderful "Autumn" weekend!! God Bless!!

Autumn Arrives

Against backgrounds of forest green,
I chanced upon an awesome scene.
Resplendent in the cool, crisp air
Were signs of autumn everywhere.

Reds, oranges, yellows caught the breeze,
Waltzing a cadence through the trees.
And in my mind's eye I could see
A multicolored tapestry.

And there I stood in silence deep,
Just watching lofty colors sweep
Across the landscaped forest floor
And knew I could not ask for more.

A poet's love of words will speak;
An artist paints when colors peak.
But only nature bares her all
When autumn leaves begin to fall.

Hi Mum! I can't believe we are into October either! Unreal!

Sue is so sweet. I am glad she got to meet you. I told Pam that I was jealous. :-(

I loved the poem you shared, & what a perfect picture to go with it! Love you Mum. Have a wonderful first weekend of October!
