"The harvest moon is heavy with gold; the stars are polished diamonds. The dogs and I walk out onto the lawn; a fox barks in the woods, otherwise the night is wondrously still. Beautiful pale smoke floats up from the ancient chimney, and I think of Thoreau's words: "There is no remedy for love but to love." That's how I feel about September, and I wish I could share the tranquility of this night with my unknown neighbors all over the world."
Isn't the moon photo above fantastic? I found it on the "Interwebs" and I LOVE looking at it.
"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." Hebrews 13:2
I've always loved that verse. Miss Cadence is a sweet little angel, isn't she?
Look for the angels today. They're around.

Beautiful PP. :) Guess what? I have a Gladys Taber book coming in the mail, all the way from the States! I can hardly wait, as I've been wanting to read her for a looooong time! All thanks to you dear friend. xxxx
I'm going to go fetch my Gladys Tabor Stillmeadow and read September. I can't get enough of those descriptions. She writes what I see, feel, hear, smell.
My parents are coming to help haul hay...angels unawares.

It's much easier to entertain angels (strangers) when they look like Cadence, than some of the prickly strangers (angels?) out there. It's a good verse, thanks for the reminder!
I love September too!
Blessings, Debbie
My favorite angel wrote this post. :)
I always think about that verse when I am out doing odd things like going downtown to look at antiques and someone appears by my side needing a meal, who knows then if it isn't an angel is disguise? I love the quote from Gladys Tabor, just perfect for September.
Have a lovely day.
Words to live by!!!!
A lovely post and I do like the picture of the moon a lot. I have just got my Gladys book ready to post to its new owner but had to have one last look at September!
Angels around us - yes indeed, I think sometimes they push people needing help into our path - I went to enrol at college today and this dear little woman said 'im scared'... so you can imagine I took her arm and said 'let's go and find out where you enrol'. I think even grown ups can be scared of the unknown, authority, form filling and hundreds of teenage students that know what they are supposed to do when we dont! us mature students can feel a bit overwhelmed! It all worked out anyway. Angels in my hair is a lovely book about angels. Bettyx
p.s. I am absolutely not fibbing, I just remembered the lady I helped was called 'Angela'. Now I'm scared!
Miss Cadence is a precious little angel!
Joy to you,
Sharon
Yes, she is a sweet little angel!
Great post - and like Betty I helped somebody today - she said "my names Angelita" and I replied "and mine's Angela"
Then she said "but why are you helping me?" and I said "do you know the story of the Good Samaritan? God blessed me today, I want to bless you"
angels everywhere - and we are usually unaware of them

Lovely post, Pom. I will keep my eyes peeled for angels--I find when you're paying attention, they do have a tendency to show up and bless us in interesting ways.
Miss Cadence is adorable. My goodness!

Love that quote too Pom! And yes, of course Miss Cadence is an adorable little angel!
Hearts & Angels to you,

Yes isn't that moon picture entrancing! Rob came home from work the other night just before midnight & & asked if I had seen the moon? I had actually because I had been out with my torch snailing..but we went back out anyway & stood together in the middle of the road..only place we could see the moon easily as it was in a most odd place & looking quite impossibly splendid. I didn't get an Angela, I got an Audrey on Friday : ) X0X0
That is a MOST beautiful moon! Wow. And a very sweet angel too. Do you sometimes wish you lived Gladys Tabor's life? I must keep my eye out for her book(s); I've never read her but keep hearing about her.
What a cutie-pie angel. Happy September to you! Your newest follower, Laura
Wishing you a sweet Sunday and a wonderful new week ahead xxxx
Happy Sunday PomPom, even if it's a very sad day for your country (and for the rest of the world too).
That moon is truly beautiful, today it was like being in July here, shame that it gets dark very early :-(
The sweetest angel I've seen all day ~ gorgeous! J.xx
Hello Pom Pom - thank you for visiting Thistle Cove Farm, it brought me here and I'm loving visiting your blog. Gladys Taber is a favorite...she and my Mother share the same first name... and I adore Mrs. Taber's books. She's delightful and now that I live on a farm, we have even more in common.
Yes, angels are all around us, sometimes even in the same house but, sometimes, we're in a hurry and miss them.
I need to say good-bye, for now, so I can return to your blog and read your other posts. Please visit me again, soon.
I've always loved that angel verse too. And the moon, wow, it's totally glorious! Thanks for sharing it x
