Quotable Sunday: Autumn

There's a lot of leaves in our yard right now. Today we are spending a lot of time raking them all up. Not my favorite past time, really. But the good thing is, this year the kids actually seem to be helping more.

Here's some quotes on Autumn I came across:

1. Autumn is a second spring when every leaf's a flower.
- Albert Camus

2. Change is a measure of time and, in the autumn, time seems speeded up. What was is not and never again will be; what is is change.
- Edwin Way Teale

3. Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.
- Stanley Horowitz

4. Youth is like spring, an over praised season more remarkable for biting winds than genial breezes. Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits. ~Samuel Butler

    I wish every autumn day could be like today, sunny & 70!

    I love this quote:
    Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.
    - Stanley Horowitz
