"The human soul is slow to discover the real excellence of things given to us by a bountiful Creator, and not until the shadows of death begin to gather around the object that we love, do we see its worth and beauty. 

Autumn is the dim shadow that clusters about the sweet, precious things that God has created in the realm of nature.

While it robs them of life, it tears away the veil and reveals the golden gem of beauty and sweetness. 

Beauty lurks in all the dim old aisles of nature, and we discover it at last."

"It was nine feet high and six feet wide

Soft as a downy chick

It was made from the feathers of forty-leven geese

Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick

Itd hold eight kids n four hound dogs

And a piggy we stole from the shed

We didnt get much sleep but we had a lot of fun

On Grandmas feather bed."
