Thanksgiving is the holiday of peace, the celebration of work and the simple life... a true folk-festival that speaks the poetry of the turn of the seasons, the beauty of seedtime and harvest, the ripe product of the year — and the deep, deep connection of all these things with God. ~Ray Stannard Baker
Oh how we love pumpkin season. You did know this gourd-ish squash has its own season, right? Winter, Spring, Summer, Pumpkin.... We anxiously anticipate it every year. ~Trader Joe’s
When the twilight comes down on all Halloween then we fly on the wings of the night. Over land, through the streets, in each home we are seen, and are known everywhere by our light! For our eyes are like stars and our noses aglow, with the candles that make us so bright and our mouths are so jagged none can but know we are Jack-o’-Lanterns all right!
Come said the wind to the leaves one day, come over the meadows and we will play. Put on your dresses of scarlet and gold,
For summer is gone and the days grow cold.
By all these lovely tokens September days are here, with summer's best of weather and autumn's best of cheer." — Helen Hunt Jackson
Hello. Today is the last day of Summer so we say farewell summer - hello fall. I'm gonna miss you Summer but I am looking forward to cooler weather, snuggling, and pumpkin spice everything.
November
is the pearl-grey month, the changeling between warm crimson October
and cold white December, the month when the leaves fall in slow drifting
whirls, and the shapes of the trees are revealed, when the earth
imperceptibly wakes, and stretches her bare limbs and displays her
stubborn unconquerable strength before she settles uneasily into winter.
November is secret and silent. -Alison Uttley
