"Two sounds of Autumn are unmistakable,

the hurrying rustle of crisp leaves blown along the street or road by a gusty wind, and a flock of migrating geese.

Both are warnings of chill days ahead, fireside and topcoat weather."

I think that hat wearing is a lost art.

I would have loved to live in the time period of beautiful hats!

" Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies."

Weekly words to live by...

" I suppose real old age begins when one looks backward instead of forward."

Writer May Sarton

" The majority of people feel that they must be doing something all the time. Many who sit all day in an office or clean house or work in a factory think if they sit down at a sidewalk cafe, fold their arms and watch the people go by, they are merely wasting time. They are wrong. In watching people and enjoying life, they may only then be truly alive."

Musician Arthur Rubinstein
