The Peeling Away ~

"Such days of autumnal decline hold

 a strange mystery which adds to the

 gravity of all our moods.”

 Charles Nodier

Farewells ~

 quietly

embracing

September's

expressive

farewells

*  *  *

"For summer there,

 bear in mind,

 is a loitering gossip,

 that only begins to talk of leaving

 when September rises to go."

George Washington Cable

Freeze Dried ~

we've

had our

first killing frost

beautiful in its own way

: : :

death lies on her

like an untimely frost

upon the sweetest flower

of all the field

William Shakespeare
