Colors of the Season

Evenings in autumn...

Kissed with amber golden light...

Hues of russet, and spice...

Dancing fire light...

Motoring through the countryside,

stopping at old inns along the way.

A trip to the mountains,

transporting me into a few days of solitude...

Curling up with a good book,

an old cashmere throw,

and a glass of burgundy by the fire...

I want to slow down for just a day or two,

holding on to autumn...

This "in-between" time...

Just after Thanksgiving,

but weeks before Christmas.

Once recharged,

how good it will be,

to

dress the old country house

in

Christmas Time colors...

Red and green..

Plaids and burlap...

Sugarplums and candy canes...

Old-fashioned colors of the season..

That is what I will use this year.

Blessings
