Of poems, pictures, and birthdays....

The days have been slipping by... the house has been filled with the happenings of every day life.
We have been making bread, knitting, sewing, drawing, cleaning, cooking, baking, visiting,  playing the piano, reading, and, if I sat here and thought, I am sure I could go on and on! ;)

It seems that we have quite a few birthdays in the fall and winter months, so we have been celebrating birthdays, in what seems, one right after the other.
 We are planning a great big birthday celebration for Stan Lee and Nicholai, this Sunday. Rosie and I are going to make a surprise meal, and do it "Medieval Style", we are still in the "planning" stage of it though. 

I will have to try and get some pictures and post them after :)

     Leaves...

"How silently they tumble down

And come to rest upon the ground

To lay a carpet, rich and rare,

Beneath the trees without a care,

Content to sleep, their work well done,

Colors gleaming in the sun.

At other times, they wildly fly
Until they nearly reach the sky.
Twisting, turning through the air
Till all the trees stand stark and bare.
Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow." 

~   Elsie N. Brady  ~

"The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry's cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on."

She is getting so big and cute..

She likes being with her Pa though!

They have been busy drawing and creating.

The kittens are getting big too..

Here are some pictures of the falls... they are really beautiful, this time of year!
