To find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest, or over a wildflower in spring- these are some of the rewards of the simple life.

Welcome to a new week, lovely friends!
We are nearing the end of September. How did that happen so fast? Summer will be behind us shortly and autumn will be gently showing off its beauty before we know it. Where I live, the signs of summer are beginning to fade and little signs of autumn are starting to appear. A couple weeks ago, for about ten days or so, we got a little foretaste of that splendid weather that the coming months will bring. So, as we say goodbye to summer and hello to autumn, I thought it was only suitable to pause for a moment and admire the lingering beauty of summertime before we are surrounded by rusty oranges, burnt reds and golden yellows.
I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but those that bring simple pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.

I am sure there is magic in everything, only we have not sense enough to get hold of it and make it do things for us.
·The Secret Garden·
To walk in nature is to witness a thousand miracles.
·Mary Davis·
The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.
·W.B. Yeats·
That which is loved is always beautiful.

Farewell, dear Summer. Until next year....
And a warm hello to beautiful Autumn....
may this be a season full of magic, loveliness, goodness, and wonder.
