October 24 2014 WRAPPING UP ANOTHER YEAR.....

Fall Greetings from Summerland, British Columbia, in the beautiful Okanagan Valley!

 
                                                                    
WHERE HAS THIS YEAR GONE!


                                                                      



"YOU HAVE MADE KNOWN TO ME THE PATHS OF LIFE; YOU WILL FILL ME WITH JOY IN YOUR PRESENCE"
                                                                       -----Acts 2:28-----

A FALL DAY IN SUMMERLAND


"SPRING COMES WITH FLOWERS, AUTUMN WITH THE MOON, SUMMER WITH THE BREEZE, WINTER WITH THE SNOW.  WHEN IDLE CONCERNS DON'T FILL YOUR THOUGHTS, THAT'S YOUR BEST SEASON."
 -----Wu-Men-----



Contrast between the sage brush on the hill sides, and the lush vineyards waiting to be harvested.


                 "OCTOBER IS NATURE'S FUNERAL MONTH.     
NATURE GLORIES IN DEATH MORE THAN IN LIFE.
THE MONTH OF DEPARTURE IN MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE MONTH OF COMING- 
OCTOBER THAN MAY,  EVERY GREEN THING LOVES TO DIE IN BRIGHT COLORS."
-----Henry Ward Beecher-----

OCTOBER




                                                                                           
THEME IN YELLOW
                                                                                                                                                                                                   
I spot the hills
With yellow balls in Autumn.

I light the prairie cornfields
Orange and tawny gold clusters
And I am called pumpkins.

On the last of October
When dusk is fallen
Children join hands
And circle round me
Singing ghost songs
And love to the harvest moon;
I am a jack-o'-lantern
With terrible teeth
And the children know
I am fooling.

-----Carl Sandburg-----
