In the gathering dusk of Autumn br the mist of evening br rolls across the farms and hills of home br to greet the brisk chill in the air. br Grasses wet with dew br such a relief br from the long summer’s heat; br a gourmet feast for cattle br grazing lazily in the meadows. br The sounds of wood chopping, br smells of burning leaves and br mom’s pies baking in the oven, br all warm, cherished memories br of home in the fall; br exquisite jewels in a crown br I will wear in the long, cold, br less comforting days of winter.
