Autumn Days Come Quickly






Autumn days come quickly, 
like the running of a hound on the moor
Irish proverb

Scarecrow



If, in the fall of the leaves in October, 
many of them wither on the boughs and hang there,
 it betokens a frosty winter and much snow.



Fall Has Arrived



Spring rain damps;
Autumn rain soaks.




Thanksgiving



Of autumn’s wine, now drink your fill; 
the frost’s on the pumpkin, and snow’s on the hill.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac, 1993



Fall Wreath



Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
~ Albert Camus

Cottage Fall Magazine



There is a harmony in autumn, 
and a luster in its sky, 
which through the summer is not heard or seen, 
as if it could not be, 
as if it had not been! 
~Percy Bysshe Shelley


Sunflowers



“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” 
― L.M. MontgomeryAnne of Green Gables



Pumpkin Door



“Fall has always been my favorite season. 
The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, 
as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.” 
― Lauren DeStefanoWither




Happy Fall



Wishing YOU well and much joy!

This is the perfect autumnal post for the Fall Equinox today!

Angie said...

I love all the quotes - perfect pairing with your photos! I am inspired by the picture of the wreath and the door decoration - we can hardly put out any real flowers (mums) at all - the deer will eat them!

You do fall so well in that part of the world....every year I look for pumpkins (real or fake) to decorate but it is just not a 'thing' here in Oz

What a wonderful autumnal post, you've brought the first pumpkins to Mosaic Monday today. Your collection of seasonal quotes just set the scene beautifully. I'm beginning to think I should be out collecting leaves and chestnut conkers to dress the mantle with.
Happy Mosaic Monday.

Oh look at you and all of your lovely Autumnal things to share...I am so not ready, have so much going on and then I think before you know it, it will be Winter, better enjoy Autumn a bit.

Happy Fall, Snap! Autumn seems to be holding back here - it's still very warm, but the rain is coming soon. You've shared some beautiful fall photos and mosaics, along with apt quotes.

Happy Fall Snap, thanks for dropping by my blog this week

much love...

Jill Harrison said...

Enjoy fall! I love those autumn wreaths and the sunflowers. We don't have the changes of leaf colour here during autumn so I always love to visit your corner of the world when you do! Enjoy the rest of your week and thank you so much for stopping by my blog this week.

I like all the images here. Autumn is my favorite season and I can relate to all the quotes about autumn you chose, except the first one, Irish proverb. In my part of the world, while summer comes abruptly from spring, autumn comes slowly with gradual cooling to burst in colors in late November. Have happy days ahead.

Loved all of these fall pictures! I want my front door decorated like that! Thank you so much for linking up with Willy Nilly!

Wonderful ode to October and Autumn: Smiles with every picture and word. I've just started re-reading the Green Gables books, which I got for my Kindle (no idea where the ones I used to own ended up -- probably with our daughter or granddaughter)....anyway, I loved seeing the Anne quote here. I'm glad too!
