Come Simply So

AND ALL THE LOVELIEST
THINGS THERE BE,
COME SIMPLY SO
IT SEEMS TO ME.

Edna St. Vincent Millay


Of Note: The fairies seem particularly close in the fall, and Marie caught this one frolicking at a local nursery. These are exactly the colors of the woods right now--bright shimmering yellow and multitudinous shades of green. If the fairy would have added a wreath of red maple leaves in her hair, the picture would have been complete. We can use our imaginations, though, and add them ourselves.

Today's Weather Report: Quite overcast with light, but persistent showers. At 40 degrees, Jim decided a fire in the fireplace was essential to take the chill off. He works on his book in front of that cozy fire, and it makes a warm domestic scene.
