Sugar maples release their crimson gold, campfire’s set the tone for ghostly stories told, burning leaves are autumn’s call to savor the ambiance of the fall ~

Hot lava climbed in the night
Each drop melting just right
Searing and sizzling as it went
Calculating every bit of its descent

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Little pleasures make her treasure the world she lives in everyday ~ a visit from an old friend bearing fine chocolates, and strawberry tarts in the middle of the day ~

~Suzanne Simonovich

A bonfire lights the faces of night ~ we circle around telling stories of life ~ marshmallows cling to sticks and twigs ~ a toasty taste of memories delight~
