Quotes on Autumn
"For man, autumn is a time of harvest,
of gathering together. For nature, it is a time
of sowing, of scattering abroad."
- Edwin Way Teale
"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it,
and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth
seeking the successive autumns."
- George Eliot
"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as
autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend
almost all the daylight hours in the open air."
- Nathaniel Hawthorne
"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor,
summer an oil painting,
and autumn a mosaic of them all."
- Stanley Horowitz
"Then summer fades and passes and October comes.
We'll smell smoke then, and feel an unexpected
sharpness, a thrill of nervousness, swift elation,
a sense of sadness and departure."
- Thomas Wolfe
"Autumn is a second spring when
every leaf is a flower."
- Albert Camus

We just had our family apple butter-making get-together today! Although the day was sunny and beautiful, it's still a very autumnal activity!
