Natures quilt in place Blanket of golden colors Fall whispering a sigh.

The house of no one at all Sits at the top of the hill The windows are gone the paint worn, chipped off The stories run wild The ghost of a dead child Roams the house at night Staying freakishly out of sight Black cats and witches on brooms Seen meandering dark rooms Heavy pounding on the walls It seems count Dracula calls Creaky floors and eerie lights Give candy beggars a scary fright Soft whispers heard in the halls Eyes stare from art on the walls Sticky spider webs hang down Lively jack...

We anticipate the beauty of color this time of year. Be that as it may, snow is coming as well as winter chill. If we can appreciate the beauty of color in each day we can choose not to dwell on what is coming tomorrow. Perhaps that is optimistic, but better the glass half full than empty. I hope you can find the color in...
