AN INDIAN SUMMER













FALL IS IN THE AIR


Kitty belongs to neighbor, and keeps me company while I'm outside




Poems by Emily Dickinson

Nature

XXVII.
INDIAN SUMMER.
These are the days when birds come back,
A very few, a bird or two,
To take a backward look.
These are the days when skies put on
The old, old sophistries of June, --
A blue and gold mistake.
Oh, fraud that cannot cheat the bee,
Almost thy plausibility
Induces my belief,
Till ranks of seeds their witness bear,
And softly through the altered air
Hurries a timid leaf!
Oh, sacrament of summer days,
Oh, last communion in the haze,
Permit a child to join,
Thy sacred emblems to partake,
Thy consecrated bread to break,
Taste thine immortal wine!

Shadows dance across the house


In the deep south October brings the promise of glorious weather. My favorite time is usually early in the month when the morning air is cool and temperatures warm to about eighty degrees by afternoon. The sky turns a deep blue and long shadows fall across the house. This is know as an Indian Summer. If we are lucky this will last on and off until Thanksgiving. I enjoy adding a few touches for the season with flowers and candles on the porch. Come enjoy a lovely Indian Summer day with me.


Blue sky and eighty degrees





Crepe Myrtle foilage changing to red and yellow















Kitty and I are making photos and kitty looks up at a strange honking sound in the sky. A sure sign of fall, geese migrating south. This was a kodak moment for sure.






This beauty is out  for a walk showing her new haircut to all 


Not sure Kitty is happy about this




Fall color for the porch










All the shrubs and  flowers get a second wind and will bloom until first frost


Flowers cover all the tabletops on the patio with new blooms








Mr. Rabbit is even enjoying the day










Fall Y'all Around The House


 Foyer






Candle Charms


Mantle







Kitchen Table Vignette






Baby Pumpkin Candles
