Northern New England looks like this now while southern New England is just beginning to hint at fall. A beautiful cool day today!

Hail To Autumn

Hail to Autumn at its very best Before all the trees decide to rest. The heat and humidity of summer finally past, The chilly and frosty days will return at last. Autumn brings her gifts all tied With burnished vegetation far and wide, Displaying an awesome scene for everyone Beneath the cover of the lustrous sun. Acorns dropped to the leaf-covered ground Where hardy, orange pumpkins now abound. Flocks of wildfowl in a southward flight, Migrating to a region to avoid winter's plight. All season long Autumn will proudly display A skein of beautiful colors day after day Until again the cold, Northerly Winds will blow To eagerly remind us of the forthcoming snow. It is Autumn's disposition to please each heart With a spectacular event from the season's start. The dark days of winter are now approaching fast, So, Hail to Autumn for its memorable cast.

Thanks for the Autumn post - we've all gotten so carried away with "chocolate", we seem to have overlooked the other 'special' days today.

Lovely! My pink dogwood is showing fall colors..It is still summer here for other trees, though.
