“Oh!” cried Marianne, “with what transporting sensations have I formerly seen them fall! How I have delighted as I walked to see them driven in showers about me by the wind! What feelings have they, the season, the air, altogether inspired! Now there is no one to regard them. They are seen only as a [...]

” A submissive young woman may not be a gourmet chef, and she might not have mastered all of the fruit of the spirit, but she has the type of disposition that makes her willing and able to learn. She might not be the most organized or prompt person in the world, but a gentle [...]

Buttercup nodded and said good-by, Clover and daisy went off together, But the fragrant water lilies lie Yet moored in the golden August weather. The swallows chatter about their flight, The cricket chirps like a rare good fellow, The asters twinkle in clusters bright, While the corn grows ripe and the apples mellow. – Celia [...]

Autumn. Cider, rain, books & comfy chairs, bright leaves, sweaters, long walks, soccer, spices, turkey, fireplaces, family.
