The air is cool as an old coin teaspoon,
and a faint tang of blue woodsmoke
spices the wind. The color of the great
sugar maples give forth light, like closer suns.
The oaks glow with a garnet fire, and all the
thickets blaze with scarlets and pale gold and
cinnamon. It is like the music of a trumpet.

Sweet October thoughts.....
Now's the time for sweet potatoes, greens,
butternuts and acorn squash. Cornbread
completes the flavors.
I've been thinking about the pecans on
my friend Bonnie's trees. Will there be
any left after the squirrels store their
share away for winter? I hope so.
Hmmm....pecan pie for the holidays.
Blessings.....Dee Dee
