Down through the ancient StrandThe spirit of October, mild and boonAnd sauntering takes his wayThis golden end of afternoon,As though the corn stood yellow in all the landAnd the ripe apples dropped to the harvest-moon.~William Ernest Henley, "London Voluntaries," 1892
Hello Dear Readers! Are you happy to be in the midst of fall? I definitely am! This is my favorite time of year -- so many things to do and so much beauty to enjoy! Do you have autumn color yet where you live? We have some, but not a lot. I set a fall table in the dining room a few weeks ago, and I've enjoyed looking at it, along with our other autumn decor around the house. This is sort of a re-boot of a fall tablescape I put together the first year of my blog (2011). I always liked that table, and I think I like this one even better.
