a grey and rainy tuesday


autumn poem

by emily brontë

fall, leaves, fall;
die, flowers, away;
lengthen night and shorten day.
every leaf speaks bliss to me
fluttering from the autumn tree
i shall smile when wreaths of snow
blossom where the rose should grow
i shall sing when night's decay
ushers in a drearier day.

i stayed home and worked around the apartment today. chanda worked on her violin, writing and math. morgana worked on some german and went to babysitting when chanda went to ballet. the morning went so quickly and then i met a friend for tea. and all day it rained and it's raining still.

  1. We had horrendous rain on Sunday and Monday. It rained on yesterday and today but not the torrential downpours on the previous two days :-)

    2. Same here, we did not drive to the Waldorf school, it was just too crazy to do that. Miriam was very disappointed. We will do our own lantern walk soon.
