Winnie, I guess you could preserve the leaves some how, but if I made one of these I'd probably just let it age naturally (like me - hee hee). It would be kind of a Zen project, the journey being more important than the destination. My goodness, I'm waxing philosophical this morning :)
Denise, did you get your decorating done? Lily and I did mine, I'll try to post some pictures. |
Happy Day!
Peace in our hearts, peace in the world

| I did get started. A little difficult with the grandkids here. I have been waiting till the house is empty and then I get going but I usually have to work around people so I am taking my time. I will post some pictures as I go along. |

When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock,
And you hear the kyouck and gobble of the struttin’ turkey-cock,
And the clackin’ of the guineys, and the cluckin’ of the hens,
And the rooster’s hallylooyer as he tiptoes on the fence;
O, it’s then’s the times a feller is a-feelin’ at his best,
With the risin’ sun to greet him from a night of peaceful rest,
As he leaves the house, bareheaded, and goes out to feed the stock,
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock.
They’s something kindo’ harty-like about the atmusfere
When the heat of summer’s over and the coolin’ fall is here—
Of course we miss the flowers, and the blossums on the trees,
And the mumble of the hummin’-birds and buzzin’ of the bees;
But the air’s so appetizin’; and the landscape through the haze
Of a crisp and sunny morning of the airly autumn days
Is a pictur’ that no painter has the colorin’ to mock—
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock.
The husky, rusty russel of the tossels of the corn,
And the raspin’ of the tangled leaves, as golden as the morn;
The stubble in the furries—kindo’ lonesome-like, but still
A-preachin’ sermuns to us of the barns they growed to fill;
The strawstack in the medder, and the reaper in the shed;
The hosses in theyr stalls below—the clover over-head!—
O, it sets my hart a-clickin’ like the tickin’ of a clock,
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock!
Then your apples all is gethered, and the ones a feller keeps
Is poured around the celler-floor in red and yeller heaps;
And your cider-makin’ ’s over, and your wimmern-folks is through
With their mince and apple-butter, and theyr souse and saussage, too! ...
I don’t know how to tell it—but ef sich a thing could be
As the Angels wantin’ boardin’, and they’d call around on me—
I’d want to ’commodate ’em—all the whole-indurin’ flock—
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock!
~James Whitcomb Riley, When the Frost is on the Punkin

| I have never heard this entire poem and it is just wonderful!! Thank-you Denise for posting it today. We might get light frost tonight in the rural areas before we head back up to 80 degrees again. The past two days have been in the 60s/40 and it has been a true bit of fall weather for us. While we don't grow traditional pumpkins down here, the cooler temps will help start to make our ripening oranges get sweeter and sweeter. My orange tree has a lot of nice fat oranges this year and I hope they are juicy and sweet. We had a very wet Summer and I am not sure how that effects their development. Time will tell as they are usually ready to eat by mid December. |

| Winnie, I do miss having those oranges straight off the tree! It is getting colder here and seems to be staying that way. |
