Autumn Wind

When autumn wind goes running
It does some magic things.
It gives the shadows dancing shoes
It gives the bright leaves wings
When autumn wind goes running

It curls the bonfire's tail of smoke
And shares a little whispered joke
With cornstalks who delight to prattle
It turns a seed pod into a rattle
When autumn wind goes running

Good morning! Ah, Fall has finally arrived! My favorite season (maybe tied with Spring) Wolfie looks very handsome in autumn's colors. :)

I just scanned Saturday's and Sunday's threads and saw lots of nice posts and pretty graphics.

Thank you, Meg, for Sunday's beautiful opening, and your first 'friends' graphic is one of my favorites - had made a hostess graphic with it for the Finest, altering it just a tad to fit the sistahs!

Gosh, that looks JUST LIKE my back yard!

Except our brick is white; we don't have ivy climbing the walls; the yard isn't terraced, with a stone wall; we don't have that beautiful red oak or the ash(?) or aspen(?) trees; but other than that....:)

How's everything going? Kitties all getting along like one big happy family? I'm curious about litterboxes - that alone must keep you hopping. :)

It was one of the ‘prettiest’ graphics to work with in the first place. I did enjoy playing with that one. :)

Cute is when a person's personality shines through
their looks. Like in the way they walk, every time
you see them you just want to run up and hug them.
