“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien - from The Fellowship of the Ring, 1954.

Tom Thomson - Golden Autumn, 1916-7.

I already miss early sunrises. A reason I love living in PA is our four seasons. But I am always sad when summer ends. And grateful when winter ends.
Which reminds me that autumn and spring are truly special.
Oh, and if you need autumn in your baking supplies, I do sell Pumpkin and Apple spice blends! And, for those who enjoy that Pumpkin spice essence just for its scent, potpourri can be your treat with my Pumpkin Spice bowl of goodness.
