Halloween

On Hallowe'en the thing you must do
Is pretend that nothing can frighten you
And if somethin' scares you and you want to run
Just let on like it's Hallowe'en fun.

Bittersweet October

"Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause 
between the opposing miseries of summer and winter." 
- Carol Bishop Hipps

Jack Frost

Jack Frost took his paintbrush 
as he sailed across the sky 
so every morning as the sun comes up 
his artwork greets the eye 
there's reds and gold's and yellows 
all of a breath taking view 
but no matter how hard he tries 
he can never make leaves turn blue 
so when you're in bed sleeping 
and outside everything seems faint 
just remember at midnight 
Jack Frost begins to paint

By Carl Jessee

Beauty

Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing. - Pissarro

Tune In To Nature

I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in. ~George Washington Carver

Pace of Nature

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
