"September days have the warmth of summer in their briefer hours,
But in their lengthening evenings a prophetic breath of autumn.
The cricket chirps in the noontide, making the most of what remains of his brief life.
The bumblebee is busy among the clover blossoms of the aftermath,
And their shrill and dreamy hum hold the outdoor world above the voices of the song birds,
Now silent or departed."-

Very nice post. I stumbled upon your blog today and am so glad I did.
Beautiful words, and lovely photograph. There is something about photos of fences or gates that I find so appealing. :)
Have a lovely evening.

Lovely in word and picture! Ta!
It's a lovely cool morning here and that's so refreshing. The earlier sunsets and shortening days are apparent, too. Ah, autumn!
Hugs!
Wonderful photo and post ! We are the same here with the cool Fall air. The sound of nature andthe country side echos in the cool breeze, the sweet smell of the trees, grasses and fields flood the air and on the odd occation the smell of a fall bon fire AHAHA ! How wonderful !
How sweet! And the picture is perfect for the poem. I've noticed leaves falling off the trees already, which seems early to me.
yet another gate that i would love to walk through
That lovely gate is so inviting I want to go through and see what's down the path.
Ahhh, I'm loving coming to your blog. Your photos are so rich, and peaceful looking. The gate picture is fantastic.
Beautiful September, Jo... I do love it --especially when the temperatures are cooler... We had one of the hottest days of the summer this past Tuesday --but it's not bad today.. Hopefully, the heat is now gone for a year!!!! I HOPE..
Great picture and poem.
Hugs,

It is calling! The temps have dropped here and some of the leaves on the trees are already starting to change color.
