Love the trees until their leaves fall off, then encourage them to try again next year.

 My boy Peppino: "I know the year is dying, Soon the summer will be dead. I can trace it in the flying Of the black crows overhead; I can hear it in the rustle Of the dead leaves as I pass, And the south wind's plaintive sighing Through the dry and withered grass. Ah, 'tis then I love to wander, Wander idly and alone, Listening to the solemn music Of sweet nature's undertone; Wrapt in thoughts I cannot utter, Dreams my tongue cannot express, Dreams that match the autumn's sadness In their longing tenderness." -  Mortimer Crane Brown, Autumn Dreams

Have you ever noticed a tree standing naked against the sky, how beautiful it is?

 My girls: Iranda & Norma Have you ever noticed a tree standing naked against the sky,  How beautiful it is?   All its branches are outlined, and in its nakedness  There is a poem, there is a song.   Every leaf is gone and it is waiting for the spring.   When the spring comes, it again fills the tree with  The music of many leaves,  Which in due season fall and are blown away.  And this is the way of life." -   Krishnamurti

If we make it through December, everything's gonna be altight I know; it's the coldest time of winter and I shiver when I see the falling snow.

 My girl Mary: "The lakes of ice gleam bluer than the lakes Of water 'neath the summer sunshine gleamed: Far fairer than when placidly it streamed, The brook its frozen architecture makes, And under bridges white its swift way takes. Snow comes and goes as messenger who dreamed Might linger on the road; or one who deemed His message hostile gently for their sakes Who listened might reveal it by degrees. We gird against the cold of winter wind Our loins now with mighty bands of sleep, In longest, darkest nights take rest and ease, And every shortening day, as shadows creep O'er the brief noontide, fresh surprises find." -   Helen Hunt Jackson, A Calendar of Sonnets: December All our world is dark, wet & dirty.... it is so sad time....
