Every Leaf is a Flower

"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree."

                         -Emily Bronte

I absolutely love Autumn,....the "second spring, where every leaf is a flower" when the air starts smelling like chimneys that are working overtime, houses are decorated for Christmas before Thanksgiving is past, and the '90 days of Gloom' begin to spread their ghostly wings over my little farming community.

Here in the lovely Central Valley, we regrettably don't often get to see Mother Nature exchanging her Summer togs for Autumn layers, but how glorious it is when the leaves start changing and a little bit of bite creeps into the air to invigorate and energize!


Perpetual Autumn....what a lovely idea to toy around with!
