While most trees are bare by now, our glowing Queen Elizabeth maple held off,
it's bottom branches flickering in the sun and welcoming us home
with one final glimpse of fall's fading glory.
My H got busy cutting back ferns and other perennials
filling the beds and underbrush under fallen leaves.
I joined him for a bit to hold bags and took in some clippings to enjoy inside.
After getting groceries, doing laundry and baking (just because I could hardly wait)
I enjoyed the glow of candle light
while looking through a magazine, introducing the next season.
Grandkids dropping by with hugs,
jars of soup left in the fridge by a mom who still "waits up" for us,
yellow leaves, candles and cinnamon buns . . .
how could I have been sad to have our vacation come to an end?

So many good things...
I love that your mom left soup for you! It's not hard to figure out where your own gift of thoughtfulness comes from. :-)
Good things are everywhere. Lovely golden leaves. This is the season for candles.

A grande finale. The last of the lovely fall colours. The love of a mom....and you pass that love forward to you kids too:)
Your mom leaves soup for you? Most special! It's looking most inviting at your place.
Candlelight, a pretty centerpiece, and a love gift left in your refrigerator...what could be better! Life goes on, but moments are meant to be shared. Thanks for sharing a glimpse of your mother's kindness. I know now where you got it.
