It's nature's perfect season to

Listen to Tales of a Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts

Why not go Canoeing in the Wilderness at Walden

or stop by the Old Manse and read Mosses From an Old Manse,

perhaps from Grandfather's Chair where
Little Men are known to frequent.

Take a scenic drive North of Boston, this Long
Fellow's route may lead you to The House of the Seven Gables

Pick up a a pumpkin or The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories,
Mark Twain recommends it when he isn't reading Eve's Diary under the Hawthorne tree.
Grab some hot cider and

meet me back at the Wayside Inn, we may hear Billy Budd, Sailor give a whale of a tale. π»πΆ
I hope you enjoyed our literary travel in autumnal
New England.

Hi Meg,
It's funny, I initially started with the seasonal greeting,
then decided to add the Literary haunts when the idea
came to me- "Why not tie in the group read titles".
I came together so easily. It's rather fun to think of
we're we have been in our mind's eye or imagination.
It's more of an N.E.L. Album, isn't it? π€β€

Well, I am officially impressed! π€ It's a lovely day here. We've had at least a week of very chilly weather but now today it's Indian summer! The trees are really turning...I'll post pictures later! ππ

LOL! I want to see them! It's just when I see pictures of a place I've not been to, especially in the Fall, the travel yearn within me starts crying. π Maine's always been on my list to see one day.

Ahh, I see! π Well, it's just the woods out back where the bears and I go walking. π€£

π€£ I'd probably have to get over my fear of bears before I'd ever visit Maine. π

At last fall arrives, saith she who is grateful.
Thanks Meg. How truly elegant of nature
to begin softly. π

Saith she who doesn't live two blocks from the North Pole.

Just sarcastic. I'm sorry if I came across as bitter to you, too, Ruth.

What??!"
I should've known...

Dorothy,
I can understand disliking the bitter cold, but your sarcasm
was unwarranted. Do not speak to me like that again.

I know...π But we have more being born any day...

I know...π But we have more being born any day..."
Oh, wow! You keep busy, don't you? Do you space them out like that over the course of a year, or are there times when you don't have any?

We, I do! π But I love our job!
There are times when we don't have any, like we have 2 moms right now getting ready to deliver in the next week or two, and then once those are gone, were going to have a big break. Which is good and bad...π

Yes, she told me! π€£ That is hilarious!! You guys are having wayyyy too much fun with that!! π€£π€£π€£

No! I knew you had one expecting any day though! They have a way of having them late at night, don't they?! π Well that's good!

π€£ He says I'm a good girl. π€£π€£π€£"
