'Tis the time of year for reflecting on
the 10 months past,
their fullness realized
in the turning leaves
and rising mists from empty fields.
The harvest was good this year.

I have made so much applesauce
apple crisp and apple muffins.
A friend shared her bumper crop.
She had more than she could ever use.
Her children are flying the coop
like mine are.
The grocery bill is shrinking
but my freezer is full.
Is there any thing more perfect than an apple?
These ones are Macintosh.
They've just been washed.
Now they will be sauced.
For your listening pleasure, a newer take on an old standard,
'Autumn Leaves'
What a beautiful rendition of one of my very favourite songs! When I look at other people's photographs, in my mind I am looking at the world through someone else's eyes and it wakes me up, sometimes just a little bit and sometimes like a slap upside the head. Thank you for your beautiful words and pictures and for sharing your view of the world, Rebecca. I'm finding the words hard to come by these days but your blogs always get my mind going just a little bit more. Thanks for that as well.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered the song today. I mean, I've heard the song many times but not his version.
DeleteI hope my photos did not give you a slap ;-)
Words come more easily at some times than others, I find. Glad to help jostle the muse a bit!
Thanks so much for the comments. Have a good day!
