a thousand red maples
offer their leaves

    Gorgeous and deeply moving work, Debbie–both the painting and the poem. It is good to be reminded of the generosity of trees…

    November
    colder than I remember…
    the Ponderosa
    offering its needles
    to kindle a little fire

    Many thanks for sharing your gifts.

    Autumn
