October begins
Fall colors and trees
orange pumpkin
and blue vase
by the window


October begins
Fall colors and trees
orange pumpkin
and blue vase
by the window
book shelves
with cards on display
a handmade gift
and a few old dishes
decades of life so far
trimming the stems
of carnations
and giving them
fresh water
October sun
books on the shelf
supported by each other
kindness of friends
