autumn grey dreamy

The soft cloudiness/ cool wind grey has set in at last and my thoughts are fleecy and dream-soft.

- I love pomegranates. I'm so happy they're in season.
- Chai tea with lots of milk is the quintessential taste of autumn. It makes visions of apple picking and wooly sweaters dance in my head.
- Being chilly on the outside and toasty on the inside is bliss.
- Happy and relaxed is just how a girl should feel.
- You know, looking back, this has been a wonderful year. I think one of the best on record. Thank you, Lord.
- Round Chinese lanterns have done for my room what fireflies do for a summer meadow.

Glory be to God for dappled things--
For skies of couple-colour as a brindled cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced--fold, fallow, and plough;
And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim.

All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.
- Gerard Manley Hopkins
