Love those gorgeous oranges, reds, yellows. We sponge painted our dining room in colours we matched off an autumn oak leaf, and the upholstery on our oak dining chairs is a fall leaf pattern. If and when I get employed again, we'll rip out the carpet in there and go with area rugs over tile or wood to match.

Such a beautiful,and sad time for me.

Here was my Mom's favorite poem in the whole world.
It was recited by my niece at Moms funeral.


God's World

by Edna St. Vincent Millay

O world, I cannot hold thee close enough!
Thy winds, thy wide grey skies!
Thy mists, that roll and rise!
Thy woods, this autumn day, that ache and sag
And all but cry with colour! That gaunt crag
To crush! To lift the lean of that black bluff!
World, World, I cannot get thee close enough!

Long have I known a glory in it all,
But never knew I this;
Here such a passion is
As stretcheth me apart,—Lord, I do fear
Thou'st made the world too beautiful this year;
My soul is all but out of me,—let fall
No burning leaf; prithee, let no bird call.

--- 1917
