The weather has turned cold. Yesterday at school, we had a fire drill and stood out in the blustery rain while the "powers that be" checked safety procedures. Brrrrrrrrr! I hope the kids don't catch colds! Even my cave-like classroom has been cooler! So, even though things are busy - it's time to revel in the lovely vibes of fall!
One of my beautiful friends (Shannon!) gave me this book some years ago. It profiles some brilliant women writers. It's a graceful "coffee table" type book, inviting and sophisticated. I stored some leaves in it, so I took it out to show you some saved treasures.
Here's Virginia Wolfe with a lovely golden maple leaf!
Here's Vita Sackville-West's write up, graced by a stunning red maple leaf I found in downtown Littleton, seven years ago. Here is your red maple leaf, Carolyn!
Susan Branch, one of my favorite artists and favorite cooks wrote and illustrated Autumn. The pages of this book are pure inspiration!

A Sunday afternoon trip to the bookstore for a book the kids at school have been dying to read also required a purchase of the most recent (here!) edition of my all-time favorite magazine! You know this. I blab about it all the time. Images. I'm so thankful for images.
This week has been lovely with the eighth graders. They are so sweet, smart, calm and dear. Today they have Explore testing, so we'll have a different day. Tomorrow is their "Friday" because the real Friday is a teacher work day. Yes, a teacher work day on MY birthday! It's okay. I don't mind. Stay tuned though. I am going to have a give away for my birthday, because all of you are so fun and kind. Come see me Friday. I send BIG fall love your way, good blogger super stars! I'm so glad you popped in for a visit today. You are good. I like good people.
