Autumnal Thoughts........

[Trenchfriend]

Actually, I got a Yankee Candle from drugstore around the corner running. This time a mediocre sized glass of Calming Cabana.

Never saw this one before, but It's delicious to me. I would say exotic fruit, vanilla and some cinnamon. I don't know, if it should remind you of a Mochito, but it seems to be in this sphere.

Today, we have the first real autumnal day, here. 55°F, rainy, but partly sunny weather. Altogether nice beginning! And no further summer-warm days reported coming.

William Shakespeare:

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin’d choirs where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou seest the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire,
Consum’d by that which it was nourished by.
This thou perceiv’st which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
