It's here!
The Autumnal Equinox occured today, Monday, September 22, 2008 at 11:44:16 EDT. Bye-bye summer and hello fall! I love fall..... the colors, the smell of leaves, wearing sweaters, pumpkins and apples!
After school I stopped at one my favorite stores for decorative paper and picked up these wonderful papers. I can't wait to use it. I went in looking for orange decorative paper and found a bunch of it!
This is from the Basic Grey line........ isn't it eye candy?!?! It's simply lucious!
The paper inspired me to seek out orange in my flower garden. I'm not sure of the real name of this flower but my mom and I call it "Arnetta" because my aunt's sister-in-law, named Arnetta gave some seeds or plants to my mom and aunt one time and so the flower has taken on her name. It really spreads and comes in orange and yellow. Would anybody happen to know the name of it?
Taking pictures in the garden brought to mind one of my favorite poems about Autumn by Elizabeth Barrett Browning.....
The Autumn
Go, sit upon the lofty hill,
And turn your eyes around,
Where waving woods and waters wild
Do hymn an autumn sound.
The summer sun is faint on them -
The summer flowers depart -
Sit still - as all transform'd to stone,
Except your musing heart.
