I like your attitude on how you will celebrate the changing season. I think it is so important to always try to add beauty to our lives in what ever capacity we have at the time.

Autumn days are so beautiful but also melancholy. If I lived near-by I can tell you I'd be SO cheered by those pots of chrysanthemums outside your door and the glow of your fires, and I'd be smiling as you answered the door, maybe wearing that fabulous fabulous red gown too, now that would put a smile on anyone's face! Put the percolator on friend I'll be there in ten.... I've got chocolate!<br /><br />Huggings x JaneHalf-heard in the Stillnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840301617199033576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818215323812390398.post-53772213118536030872012-10-03T11:58:48.920-05:002012-10-03T11:58:48.920-05:00Some of my comments have disappeared into neverlan...Some of my comments have disappeared into neverland, just FYI.

You love beautiful things although, I do understand that the togetherness isn't there but, it still sounds as if you will be having fun ! It sounds as if you have a lot going on !! Pumpkin pies, open fires, red wine, sport , shopping and time with friends sounds OK to me !!!!<br />Much love and thinking of you.<br />Sorry but my link came up twice .....

I have had to relearn, that this is now my time, alone or not, and to enjoy the freedom, (yes sometimes also sad at the lonely flight) but non the less, there are new experiences that await and new places to explore. I have been absent for a while as my post will explain, but I am so delighted to be back here and to share in all the inspiration and wonderful talent. Gorgeous fall images, my favourite season of all, quite simply just for the colour palette, if nothing else!!<br /><br />Sending love and hugs<br /><br />V<br />xxxVeronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05073935892171433452noreply@blogger.com
