Or how about just "Praise God from whom all blessings flow."
At last, September.
September has come. It is hers
Whose vitality leaps in the autumn,
Whose nature prefers
Trees without leaves and a fire in the fireplace.
So I give her this month and the next
Though the whole of my year should be hers who has rendered already
So many of its days intolerable or perplexed
But so many more happy.
Who has left a scent on my life, and left my walls
Dancing over and over with her shadow
Whose hair is twined in all my waterfalls
And all of London littered with remembered kisses.
from "Autumn Journal" by Louis MacNiece
Are you (like me) a person whose vitality leaps in the autumn?
I was up early working on something and saw your blog. I feel the same way about autumn. September 1st is a day of celebration to me!
ReplyDeleteI love celebrating Sept. 1!! Fall is here in my book!
ReplyDeleteLove ya!
Fall is my favorite! Summer has been fun but the kids are ready for school and this momma is ready for routine. Bring on fall!
ReplyDeleteI've been celebrating Fall since August begun, ha! Washington has cooler temps. Fall is my favorite time of year. When I saw your Autumn picture, I hopped over here fast! ;)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the wonderful weekend! XO ~Liz
Count me in for fall also. I've started pulling out my Fall "stuff" so my sewing room and upstairs family room look like Fall threw up.
ReplyDeleteWe redheads were created for Autumn.
ReplyDeleteRichella, you got me with that photo!! I'm so excited for fall! This was a great post. I hope you'll pop on over and get in on my anniversary giveaway! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE fall! The leaves changing color, the cooler weather. Summer this year was brutal in the east. We are welcoming fall with open arms.
ReplyDeleteI love September and I love Fall. It is 90 degrees here today but the AC is on and we are pretending that it's time to hang the Fall wreath. :)

ReplyDeleteAnother redhead for autumn! Summer was brutal here in Ontario, Canada and I am so happy it is September.
ReplyDeleteYes. Yes, I am.
ReplyDeleteI'm a summer girl, through and through, but who doesn't love fall? The great holidays, the great home decor—scarves and sweaters?? It's a great time of year!
ReplyDeleteOnly strange thing is that here in the Bay area, our "summer" is only just beginning! (Our seasons tend to be a bit delayed.) Oh well!
LOVE this. We are kindred spirits :) I'm ready for cool temps, pumpkins, cider, leaves....bring it on :)
