fall beauty
leaves and light
memories and today
Tag: October
fall stillness
yellow chrysanthemum
on an old green chair
in the yard and an orange
pumpkin near the door
fall stillness
after rain sun
after rain sun
in the garden
where green plants
still grow and today
begins anew
we drove North

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.

October Colors
grey sky
green and
gold leaves
another window
full of clouds
and some blue
pumpkins
in the yard
colors at home
as I read and write

Hosta and Pumpkins
We bought two pumpkins at local stores. Karl placed them by the hosta that surrounds our ash tree that fell during the late summer storm. We will keep part of the stump and the hosta. Create in a new way. The tree showed signs of the Emerald Ash Borer, which has affected so many trees in the area.
The pumpkins also look nice by the front porch hosta. Previous owners planted the hosta a long time ago. They are hardy plants.
