I'll Put A Trinket On

 

Autumn Poplars along the River Epte - Claude Monet

  Autumn

by Emily Dickinson

The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry’s cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.

The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I’ll put a trinket on.

It's A Beautiful Morning

I have noticed some lovely songbirds singing in the garden this week.

 It's A Beautiful Morning 

Felix Cavaliere Eddie Briganti

It's a beautiful mornin', Ahhh,
I think I'll go outside a while,
An jus' smile.
Just take in some clean fresh air, boy!
Ain't no sense in stayin' inside
If the weather's fine an' you got the time.
It's your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day.
Either way,
It's a beautiful mornin', Ahhh,
Each bird keeps singin' his own song.
So long!
I've got to be on my way, now.
Ain't no fun just hangin' around,
I've got to cover ground, you couldn't keep me down.
It just ain't no good if the sun shines
When you're still inside,
Shouldn't hide, still inside, shouldn't hide,
Ahhhh..Oh! (shouldn't hide) Ah, ah, Oh.....
(Do, do, Waaa) (Do, do, Waaa)
There will be children with robins and flowers;
Sunshine caresses each new waking hour.
Seems to me that the people keep seeing
More and more each day, gotta say, lead the way,
It's okay, wednesday, thursday, it's okay,
(Ahhh) monday, wednesday, friday, weekday, Ah, Ah, Ohhh.
(Do, do, Waaa)
Ah, Ah, Oh, Oh, (Do, Do - Aaaa)
Wooooo oo oo oh, oh, oh, Ah wo, do, waa
Ohhhhhhh.....Oh, Oh, Oh, .....

Tis the Season: Rip Van Winkle

Rip Van Winkle and Wolf, about to encounter a ghost, and wake up after how many years?

Washington Irving, early American writer, had a wry sense of humor. This is one of my favorite stories, especially for autumn. Used to be seventh graders always read it; I found a simplified version in 'Bringing the Classics to Life,' Ed Con, for my Special Ed. and ESL classes. 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' is included. It was always amazing fun, ripe with opportunities for in-class drama and art (of the autumn type.) I would always give a hint to them to watch out for the two Georges.

  This production of Faerie Tale Theatre is directed by Francis Ford Coppola,  and produced in what would be a fantastic children's theatre.  It is my all time favorite Faerie Tale Theatre production, well worth the time.

The nuts are getting brown;
The berry’s cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.

The field a scarlet gown.
