we drove North
to see Fall colors
along the way
snow fell and
lightly covered
fields of soybeans,
corn, and other crops
and the wind
painted one side
of tall trees
with the snow
My poem is from my post for October 20, 2018.

gold leaves and wind
gold leaves and wind
clouds and blue sky
dishes washed
and reading poetry
grateful for this day
Autumn views
from the window
by my desk many years
and this year
the most beautiful
October Turns
cooler weather and strong winds
all the leaves falling and we see the shapes of trees
light streams into the house as the sun moves south
red geraniums still bloom
October turns to face November
grey-green morning
grey-green morning
sky and trees
no wind or birds
on the branches
late October beauty
vegetables
washed and cooked
for Saturday
pine cones
along the path
squirrel at work
day begins with silence
day begins with silence
work in the kitchen
prepare for a good day
sunrise so bright
and welcome
October days go by
Summer past
and Winter in sight
now though
Fall for awhile
furnace warms
the house
I look at books
and journals and
look forward to
more time to read
Spring, hope, renewal
always in our hearts
leaves fall
leaves fall
by my study window
reach the earth
leaves fall
by my study window
reach gardens
where primroses,
hosta, and lilies grow
old poem still new
predawn
and watching
the sky grow light
gift of another day
to read and write
