Ready for Fall!

We are all looking forward to fall weather coming soon here at the Avery House. It always makes me think of going apple picking on the farm, going on hayrides, raking and jumping in leaves, and carving pumpkins. The girls are all ready for fall with their matching smocked farm dresses. To help get you in the fall spirit I am posting a poem I found recently that paints a perfect picture of fall. Enjoy!


Leaves
by Elsie Brady
How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.
At other times, they wildly fly
Until they nearly reach the sky.
Twisting, turning through the air
Till all the trees stand stark and bare.
Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow.
