Amarantha Sweet And Fair

Had a bad weekend.  No electricity and no water.  One was caused by the breaker box switch, and the other was a neighbor's septic problem.  And then some car maintenance stuff.  Let's just say it was an awful day and extreme heat.

 

So let's talk about something nice.

I put out my first Fall decoration.   This glass pumpkin is one of my favorites.

 

 

 

Let's put on some coffee.  I make mine with a single coffee filter, and it really makes the best hot coffee.

 

 

The new Fall goodies are out at Starbuck's, so I had to get a pumpkin scone.  I thought I'd heat it up myself so it was warm and tasty.

 

 

These are flowers outside my bedroom window.

Have any idea what they are?  They have the nicest scent.

AMARANTHA sweet and fair,
Ah, braid no more that shining hair!
As my curious hand or eye
Hovering round thee, let it fly!

Let it fly as unconfined
As its calm ravisher the wind,
Who hath left his darling, th' East,
To wanton o'er that spicy nest.

Every tress must be confest,
But neatly tangled at the best;
Like a clue of golden thread
Most excellently ravellèd.

Do not then wind up that light
In ribbands, and o'er cloud in night,
Like the Sun in 's early ray;
But shake your head, and scatter day!

Look's like someone got into mama's lipstick.

Have a sweet September week.
