There's a nagging voice inside my head urging me to hurry
Nature's clock is ticking while Old Man Winter crouches impatiently at the door.
But the call of fall rings louder. It beckons from the billowing clouds.
and echoes across the vast expanses of newly gleaned fields.
It says; "Stop... savor. You know I can't stay long.
Blink your eyes and I'll be gone."
Oh glorious days of Autumn fleeting. You win of course.
I abandon the apples on the bough,
the best of intentions to work right now
the best of intentions to work right now
and relish your sweet presence.

Beautifully done and I loved the photographs. You are so right.
Those pictures are fabulous! I feel you angst. Who wants to do work with fall on the way! Soon it will be winter and that whole seasonal depression thing will set in and cabin fever will take over. There's plenty of time to do all that other stuff! I say get out there and enjoy what God's blessed you with!
Enjoy ~
Beautiful pictures of such blessings.

too awesome. I love Fall - I think it's my favorite time of year. I like cutting back all my perennials and cleaning up my flower beds, making things look "neat" (which is ironic, b/c I'm going for that messy English-Country-Garden-look lol)
This is the essence of Mary's persona... she lingers and savors because Her Saviour won't be staying long. Beautiful.
Lovely. Your girls are growing more beautiful all the time:)
Way to seize the day...
Absolutely love the 5th and 6th pictures, especially.
yes, me too....dancing with the wind and the apple-scented air...resting in the sunshine, drinking, drinking, before the days are gone.
kindred spirit here...
What beauty! Thank you for sharing!
