Fallin’ Into Autumn, Paintin’ a Pumpkin

Painting Pumpkins in the Fall
Echoes of laughter through it all.

Pumpkins callin’ out,
crafty hands get ready.

Plastic knives.
Paintbrushes.
Black, white, & silver paint.

Get the newspaper out.
Cover the table.
Get a plastic holder.
Don’t forget the wet wipes.

Today is going to be grand.
We’re gonna paint pumpkins.

Happy faces.
Sad faces.
Scary faces, too.

Eyes.
Mouths.
And maybe ears.
Or,
flowers, hearts, and stars.

Some pumpkins sparkle.
Some pumpkins shine.
Some pumpkins smile or frown.
Some seem to do both.

No two are ever the same.

No matter what design is done,
laughter echoes through the walls.

At the end of the day,
it’s time well spent,
making memories
with those you love.

This fall,

May you find joy in the process of creating.
May laughter fill your walls and your heart.
May every brush stroke remind you that craft time
is bonding time.

Fallin into Autumn, Seein’ the Colors

I see the autumn leaves are falling.

Steppin’ outside
on an autumn day—
see the trees sway?
or the leaves dance away?

Steppin’ outside
on an autumn day—
see the leaves piled high?
or neighbors rakin’ them
into little hills?

Steppin’ outside
on an autumn day—
see the oranges?
the reds?
the yellows?
each one callin’ your name.

Swirlin’ , twirlin’ , dancin’ ,
Colors leapin’ across the page.
Everywhere you look,
autumn is everywhere.

Steppin outside,
on an autumn day
is like stepping into
an enchanted forest—
capturin’ the whimsy
and the beauty,
before the vibrant colors
start to fade.

The fall,

May you find peace and refuge in the enchanted forest
that lies within your soul.

Fallin’ Into Autumn, Buttonin’ a Sweater

Sweater weather love, it’s true.

I fall for fall when I’m with you.

Fallin’ into fall,
layin’ on the leaves,
on top of a blanket,
smellin’ the crisp fall air.

Fallin’ into fall,
feelin’ a little cold,
puttin’ on a sweater,
to feel cozy warm.

It’s sweater weather,
when the leaves start to fall,
the sun loses its strong rays,
to catch you walkin in the breeze.

Long sleeves,
long pants,
sweaters fuzzy and soft,
stayin’ warm as the days shrink a bit.

Scarves, sweaters, jackets,
bundled up sippin’ hot cocoa,
the radio in the background,
playin’ cool jazzy tunes.

This fall,

May each button you fasten,
wrap you in the warmth of a cozy fall day,
gently shifting its tone to match the season’s rhythm.

Fallin’ Into Autumn, Cracklin’ Leaves

Fall is a symphony of crackling leaves.

Fallin’ into fall,
like the bass violin,
or the oboe,
Deep, resonant, and grounded.

A symphony of instruments,
falling from trees,
cracklin’ underneath,
singin’ an autumn song.

The seasons shiftin’,
the earth turnin’ slowly,
the air feels crisper,
as the colors of leaves start to change.

Orange, reds, browns,
like violins, drums, and clarinets,
notes, chords, & harmonies,
singin’ out that fall is here.

This fall,

May each cracklin’ leaf calm your spirit
and lead you to a symphony of colors
that stirs the soul.

Fallin’ into Autumn, Sayin’ Hello

Hello, is it me you’re looking for?

In your eyes,
in your smile,
there you are – September
Smilin’ and sayin’ hello to y’all.

Summer fades.
School begins.
Activities resume.
Feelin’ energy in the air.

Autumn whispers,
Get ready.
It’s time to go–
somewhere, anywhere.

New faces.
New places.
Time stands still,
until life starts movin’ again.

Hello September.
Hello Autumn.
Hello Fall.
Smilin’ and sayin’ hello to y’all.

This fall,

May your Autumn hellos bring smiles
everywhere your heart wants to go.
