The golden rod is yellow
The corn is turning brown
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
Helen Hunt Jackson (1830 - 1885) was born in Amherst, Mass. She wrote poetry and several novels, and became an activist for Native Americans. Her most famous work was Ramona, a melodrama about an orphan who was half white, half Indian, and her full-blooded husband and their struggles to develop land of their own in California.
I do not live on a farm, and have no apple trees. But for some reason Jackson's poem always comes to mind when the leaves start to turn, as they were just beginning to do yesterday as I took a walk down the road . . .
They say the colors aren't going to be so great this year because of all the dry weather, but it looks like they're starting to come out.
Here's where the path opened onto a field.
I think this is poison ivy.
Around the bend was a pond.
And then, I don't know. A haunted house?
When I got home I wondered if I should pick the last of my tomatoes,
and saw that B had started to prepare for the fall holidays.
Look at this . . . she found apples somewhere and baked a pie!

Definitely fall in your part of the woods, Tom. I think I'll look up that book and read it, since I haven't before. :-)
Apple pie and fall, what a lovely combination. Enjoy.

I have some apples in the refridgerator and need to make something. Maybe tomorrow?
Yum! I can't remember the last time I had fresh homemade apple pie.
Our trees are just starting to turn, although we've had our first frost. Our cucumber plants took a hit in the cold, but are still growing and producing...and nothing seems to kill those damn tomatoes. i am sick of tomatoes!
I like apple pie, too.
Nothing says fall to me more than the smell of an apple pie baking. Yum!
You hooked me with the Helen Hunt Jackson poem. Colorado Springs, my home town, became her adopted home. I bought a book of her essays and poems a few years ago and was enthralled with her writing all over again. She was an amazing woman in many ways.
Don't you just love these October days?
The apple pie looks wonderful. To me it speaks of all the creature comforts that one turns to when the autumn days turn a bit cool. Enjoy every bite.
I was in a completion with my husband’s ex, even before we got married, I thought she might stop interfering in our affairs after marriage, but she continued, spreading rumors about my past, calling me names. She vowed to cause breakup to our 2-year-old marriage, because my husband preferred me over her, she was so jealous and decided to consult a priest who caused our breakup on March 17. She was so evil that she don’t even hide her evil acts, after opening up to me that she caused our split, and laugh at me as she tries to take back my husband.
It was a slap on my face and total humiliation, and I demanded justice from spiritual father dr. wakina, after going through testimonies about him on TV and blogs, why I chose him was that he doesn’t cast spell against one’s wish and his spell has positive effects to family growth. My life changed after the spell was done on us and the evil lady flee overnight. Am so exited right, dr. wakina’s spell blessed us beyond measures and I encourage you to contact him via dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com
Thank you for the photos. I'm in south central Kansas, and we don't have as much fall color (or as many trees) here. And I haven't made a pie in years. Eep. Maybe I'll do that this weekend!
Thanks for taking us on your walk, it was lovely.
