Yes Joyce, I too like to sit and watch mother nature put on her robe of fall colors. They aren't as bright as spring colors, but the fall colors are just as beautiful in their own right. They give way to the beautiful snows of winter, and the cold frozen noses that still sing Christmas carols in our little town. Fall gives way to cowl neck sweaters, and hot cocoa with warm milk. OMG I'm nostalgining again. These are the fall and winters I enjoyed as pre-adolescent in Michigan's upper peninsula. Thank you Joyce for the memories.

May the Lord Bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and walk by your side. With love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your den sister Barbie

Hi Joyce!
Am trying, by God to catch up...My leaves fell sideways this Fall and really...I'm trying to straighten me out before I hit the ground! HA! I love the Fall! It's my favorite season to write about, for whatever reason...everything... your chosen words described, is how I love to catch it! Just look at the splendid colors in this one!
Love and Peace~

A lovely sharing Joyce. Your writing reminds me of the way John Walton wrote the stories on the Waltons. It took me there...M

Your poem brought so many emotions to life...and made me realize that maybe the reason I love fall so much is because of the poignant memories that surround it. It's a time for settling down, refocusing, slowing down and preparing to spend time with family. I don't know... but I do know that your poem was beautifully stated! I especially loved the last line.

fond memories I recall
those that I cherish and hold dear
the simple times of yesteryear…

How I loved those times, too, and a glorious poem, Joyce.

Every year God let lose in Autumn a mad painter with as many colors as He could create, and the painter go berserk with happines everytime giving us a world different every morning with an explosion of mixtures and blends and....
Gorgeous.

This is a wonderful journey through your neighborhood and your memories. I love the way it unfolds with each part of Autumn revealing its scheduled tasks. And I really LOVE the line "Love filled the empty spaces as the leaves slowly sailed to the ground." The scenes pictured throughout this are soul-satisfying!
Love, Connie

Beautiful lines of rememberance, superbly penned/illustrated. Well done, Joyce.

Beautiful and brings back the memories of the past, mixing them with the today to weave such a wonderful, heartwarming story-poem. So nice to have the opportunity to read your words again....

Welcome back. Your poem gives some wonderful descriptions of the season and your homeland in Kentucky. The memories hold their share of emotions and sadness--while there is still joy from the beauty all around you. Great write, Joyce.

Hello Joyce, those Kentucky Mountain memories
