Writer's Island - Renewal

I'm back from New England but my pictures are still coming so I'll wait to share my amazing journey. I've recovered from my jet lag and spent a day with my guy who I REALLY missed. My Tivo is smoking from trying to catch up but I feel renewed and relaxed. I've stolen pictures from Pam and Nancy to give you a taste of my life changing trip. Knowing it is Tuesday on "Writer's Island" I'm sharing these beautiful lyrics.

When Fall Comes To New England
Words And Music By:
Cheryl Wheeler
When fall comes to new england
The sun slants in so fine
And the air's so clear
You can almost hear the grapes grow on the vine

The nights are sharp with starlight
And the days are cool and clean
And in the blue sky overhead
The northern geese fly south instead
And leaves are Irish Setter red
When fall comes to New England

When fall comes to New England
And the wind blows off the sea
Swallows fly in a perfect sky
And the world was meant to be

When the acorns line the walkways
Then winter can't be far
From yellow leaves a blue jay calls
Grandmothers Walk Out In Their Shawl
And Chipmunks Run The Old Stone Walls
When fall comes to New England

The frost is on the pumpkin
The squash is off the vine
And winter warnings race across the sky
The squirrels are on to something
And they're working overtime
The foxes blink and stare and so do I

'Cause when fall comes to New England
Oh I can't turn away
From fading light on flying wings
And late good-byes a robin sings
And then another thousand things
When fall comes to New England

When fall comes to New England


I can't catch up on 175 blogline alerts but I missed you guys!
