~ COME NOVEMBER~~ An original poem by Barbara J. Schaller

COME NOVEMBER


The leaves have fallen on the ground
And the raking has begun.
The children frolic in the heaps
Enjoying the midday sun.

There is a slight chill in the air

A warning that winter is near.

The days are getting shorter
As autumn will disappear.

The woods are appearing barren,
And the birds migrate from the north.
Nature is slowly changing
As a new season comes forth.

Preparations for Thanksgiving
And an abundance of food.
It’s a time for counting blessings
And sharing the holiday mood.

November brings forth transitions,
And its beauty can still be found
On the farms and countryside
Where the season’s sights abound.

Doll dress detail...and little hat

Queen, here is what I got of the details...when I took the original image of the doll...you were asking about the outfit she was wearing.
I am certain the outfit was new.

Playing with my Camera this afternoon...

It is hard to see, but there is a short glass jar that the roses are
in...the lid belongs to it.

As we were coming in from our errands.. .. this afternoon..I saw where two new roses that had started to blossom.

~ It is going to be much COOLER tonight here in southeast Texas...than we have been use to for the past 8 or 9 month...... so I wanted to bring them in for the night. ~~ And of course, I MUST put them in front of my camera for a minute. ( smiling)

~~ My Nieces BEAUTIFUL Wedding~~

My niece is a beautiful woman

time for the right man.

The flowers were beyond belief lovely...The bride was so happy ...as was the

groom.

It was a beautiful day...

I tried to put the pic's in sequence..they kept getting out of order.
