SIGNS of FALL

***

Signs of Fall around my house....

(Ceramic basket: A gift from (& painted by) my daughter, Jami)

(I'm afraid the large bow hides all the goodies in this basket in the living room.)

(Bill brought home these squash & pumpkins. It wouldn't seem like fall without an assortment of these on the table!)

There is such beauty in the colors of Fall that we see all around us...in the fruits, vegetables, and especially the leaves as they begin to change colors.

For The Beauty Of The Earth
(beautifully sung on Playlist by St. Philip's Boys Choir)

For the beauty of the earth,
For the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies,
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.

For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon and stars of light,
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.

For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above,
Pleasures pure and undefiled,
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.

For each perfect gift of Thine,
To our race so freely given,
Graces human and divine,
Flowers of earth and buds of heaven,
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.
