To Autumn by John Keats (1795-1821)<br />

SEASON of mists and mellow fruitfulness, <br />
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;<br />
Conspiring with him how to load and bless <br />
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;<br />
To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees, <em> </em><br />
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; <br />
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells<br />
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, <br />
And still more, later flowers for the bees, <br />
Until they think warm days will never cease, <em> </em><br />
For Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells. <br />
<br />
Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store? <br />
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find<br />
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor, <br />
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind; <em> </em><br />
Or on a half-reap’d furrow sound asleep, <br />
Drows’d with the fume of poppies, while thy hook <br />
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:<br />
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep <br />
Steady thy laden head across a brook; <em> </em><br />
Or by a cyder-press, with patient look, <br />
Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours. <br />
<br />
Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they? <br />
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,—<br />
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day, <em> </em><br />
And touch the stubble plains with rosy hue;<br />
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn <br />
Among the river sallows, borne aloft <br />
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;<br />
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn; <em> </em><br />
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft <br />
The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft; <br />
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.<br />
<br />

John Keats died in Rome on 23 February 1821 and was buried in the protestant cemetery in Rome. His last request was to be placed under a tombstone bearing no name or date, only the words, "Here lies One whose Name was writ in Water." Severn and Brown erected the stone, which under a relief of a lyre with broken strings, includes the epitaph:</div>

With cooler weather arriving, it is time to curl up in front of the fire with a cup of tea or cocoa and select a nice thick book to read. It's funny how I read more non-fiction in the cooler months and save the fluff for summer. Two of three of these books are non-fiction and I am truly looking forward to reading them all.<br />
<br />
Nora Ephron, who passed away just in 2012, has a compilation of many of her works collected in <i>The</i> <i>Most of Nora Ephron</i>. What an amazing writer who brought us many humorous and unforgettable stories.<br />
<br />
And if you have read my blog from the beginning, you know what a huge Pat Conroy fan I am. I believe he is one of the best writers out there today. He tends to write about my life, the people I grew up with and people who surround me. The South in all it's perfect beauty and hidden shame. <i>The Death of Santini: The Story of a Father and His Son. </i><br />
<br />
The third, <i>Behind the Shattered Glass</i>, is a continuation of a fun, cozy mystery series and is always enjoyable to visit with the characters again.<br />
<br />
Happy Autumn and Happy Reading!<br />
<br />
<br />
p.s. Just finished reading <i>This House is Haunted</i> by John Boyne and thoroughly enjoyed it.

There are books that need to be read or re-read by the fire or somewhere you can smell the burning leaves and the cool night air catches your breath.<br />
<br />
One of those books for me is Washington Irving's <i>The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. </i>It has all of the Autumn requirements. What's your favorite Fall reading?<br />

The Drawings of an Artistic Savant</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gregory L. Blackstock is autistic and an artistic savant. He creates visual lists of everything from wasps to hats to emergency vehicles to noisemakers. His art is stirring in its detail and inspiring in its simple beauty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blackstock was a pot washer for twenty-five years and supplemented his income by playing the accordion on street corners. He began making pictorial lists at age forty and had his first gallery exhibition in 2004.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is one book I have enjoyed picking up at different times and enjoyed reading the lists and studying the drawings. Highly educational with a touch of whimsy. These drawings had to have taken a lot of research and I imagine Mr. Blackstock is a very smart man. I have definitely learned from him.</div>

<em><strong>Moss Farm, or the Mysterious Missives of the Moosepath League!</strong></em><strong><br />by Van Reid</strong></div>
<div class="regular" style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
"Under the wise and jovial leadership of their chairman Mister Tobias Walton and the shrewd and gallant Sundry Moss, this 19th century gentlemen’s club from Portland, Maine has foiled pirates and kidnappers, joined a hobo army to save a burning village, bumped into the supernatural, and successfully treated a depressed pig!</div>
<div class="regular" style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Return, now, to the early days of the club as (without benefit of their leader and his aide-de-camp) it becomes the self-imposed duty of Ephram, Eagleton, and Thump to deliver a letter to Walter! It is a mission of surprising complication and befuddlement, made no less so by Mrs. Actonia Mint, whose best friends are invisible to the world and whose family (the mystery-prone Seams) is only one embarrassment away from having her committed.</div>
<div class="regular" style="color: #660000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Mister Walton, meanwhile, travels to Sundry’s homestead, where folks prove, by turns, warm and memorable, eccentric and irascible. The travelers deal with romantic entanglements and get wind of a ghostly visitation, even as the Members of the Club climb up and down Portland’s social ladder in their valiant attempt to find Walter!</div>

As ever, the Moosepath League is in the fore!"</div>

I know, I know. It has been forever! Burn out and being busy are my excuses.<br />
<br />
I have been traveling so much that when I am home, I am ready to cook. I LOVE Jacques Pepin! Next to Julia Child, he is my favorite. I have watched all his shows in the past. He has had teaching shows with Julia, by himself and even with his daughter. I purchased his newest cookbook back in May and have been saving it until recently. I am like my mom in that I love to read cookbooks! We may not cook anything out of them, but we will read, tab, make menus and pour through them. It is very relaxing. This one has 700 of his favorites and Monsieur Pepin has a DVD in the back of this cookbook that is AMAZING! I want to get a DVD player to put in my kitchen so I can watch it over and over again while I cook. He teaches the basics of good French cooking. Simple, short and to the point. I love this book!<br />

The other book that I have been enjoying and have just read the first five chapters is Tamar Adler's <u>The Everlasting Meal</u>, Cooking with Economy and Grace. The two books are very similar. Both encourage to use what you have in your refrigerator, use good ingredients and enjoy yourself while you cook it.</div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had a lovely time visiting with the friends I went to France in June 2011 once again. The classes were wonderful and taught by some amazing teachers. Kaari taught a bracelet class, Molly taught a folded book class, Charlotte Lyons and Pam Garrison taught a sailors valentine patchwork class, Michelle Jorgensen taught a shadow box collage class and Anna Corba taught a beeswax coated collage book. Kaari is as gracious and lovely as ever. This March she has her own French General line coming out at Michael's, so be sure and check it out. It is a tasteful paper line based on many of her French discoveries. This is a huge opportunity for Kaari and she has worked very hard making sure each piece was as it should be. Congratulations Kaari! Thank you for a memorable weekend!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div><span id="goog_1204486574"></span><span id="goog_1204486575"></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02136987872170353627noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342280697412091192.post-47496036611133822642012-01-24T00:56:00.000-06:002012-01-24T00:56:27.997-06:00Book Snob<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"I don't really trust a person who doesn't read."</span> -Lisa Borgnes Giamonti<br />
<br />
<br />
One of my favorite blogs in the blogosphere is Lisa Borgnes Giamonti's <a href="http://www.abloomsburylife.blogspot.com/">'A Bloomsbury Life'</a>.<br />
She was writing about the first thing she does when she visits a persons home is to look at their books. I am the same way. I automatically gravitate to their bookcase. It might be a cookbook in the kitchen or just a book that is sitting on a table. If I don't see a book, I am suspicious and do not feel a connection. I am lost for words. (pun intended) Cold.<br />
<br />
You can tell so much about a person by the books he or she reads or by the lack of books.<br />
<br />
I feel a warmth in my heart when I see a Bible sitting on a night table. If you want to learn an amazing Story, read the Bible. When I visit a friends home for dinner and look up and see on a shelf Glady Taber, Tasha Tudor or a book about the Cotswolds, I relax a little more. I know I have found a kindred spirit.<br />
<br />
The new e-readers are great for travel and are very handy, but I like to share my books, too. You can not share your e-reader like you can an old copy of Elizabeth Goudges <i>The Middle Window </i>or D'Aulares <i>Greek Myths. </i>It's how I discovered so many of my favorite authors. Because of a friend sharing her books, I learned about Elizabeth Prentiss and John Buchan.<br />
<br />
Are there others out there who feel the same way? I guess I am a sort of profiler. I can tell a lot about the person by the books he or she reads or doesn't read. Does that make me a book snob? Gladly so.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02136987872170353627noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342280697412091192.post-70151538333471955032011-11-22T00:43:00.000-06:002011-11-22T00:43:18.235-06:00Currently Reading<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBb8_OF7TLNZ6Qaiij9wfAusUDh1LDC_Q9p-3Cg3GyxNDsobsL5AxVnDFgjsasrS5VWholBuIRCTcq1OTgvuIfIM7QW4rfiN_lAnXplL8aEQCI_dIjNQ6BcM7zJb0l0HsX2h8QJ7m6Df0/s1600/5157GfpwdVL._SL500_AA300_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBb8_OF7TLNZ6Qaiij9wfAusUDh1LDC_Q9p-3Cg3GyxNDsobsL5AxVnDFgjsasrS5VWholBuIRCTcq1OTgvuIfIM7QW4rfiN_lAnXplL8aEQCI_dIjNQ6BcM7zJb0l0HsX2h8QJ7m6Df0/s400/5157GfpwdVL._SL500_AA300_.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

She has been my best friend forever. We live in separate states now, but whenever we get together, we just pick right back up where we left off.<br />
<br />
She is my sister, friend, protector, nurse, comedian, roll model, boss, Christian example. She is a mother, sister, wife, flight attendant, secretary, actress, painter, woman, chauffeur, girl scout, hair dresser, maid, teacher, Aunt, homecoming queen and friend to so many.<br />
<br />
I can't even begin to tell you all the stories we have that we STILL laugh about. Slamming doors, forks, riding lawn mowers, Planet of the Apes, bomb, stereos, riding in cars, singing in the bathroom mirror, me in the back seat on her dates.<br />
<br />
And we still have fun! Yearly sister trips. Santa Barbara, New York, Paris, Monhegan Island and I know I am forgetting something.<br />
<br />
Thank you Les for being there for me whenever I call and always having my back.<br />
<br />
I Love You Sooooo Much!!!!!<br />
Happy Birthday!<br />
Love,<br />
Julie<br />

Actor Rufus Sewell played Italian policeman Aurelio Zen perfectly.<br />
So, this has led me to continue reading the next book in the series, <u>Dead Lagoon</u>. I am enjoying a little armchair traveling through Venice!<br />

Everyone is picking out and picking up their fruit, pouillet (chicken), meat, cheeses and spices for the week. There of course is bread which is bought daily, books, bags, luggage and rugs for sale.<br />
<br />
Surrounding the square are many cafes where there is lots of people watching, drinking of espressos and talking.<br />
<br />
I made it into the Pharmacie for a couple of necessities that I had forgotten, found a market to purchase a large container of fruit juice, stopped in a baguette shop and bought a "Vesuvio" sandwich (tomato, cheese, and herbs de Provence) which they toasted and a Granite (frozen drink) to take away (they don't say "to go" here) to my room.<br />
<br />
I just wandered the streets of the old city today and decided not to go to Carcassone because of the crowds. If I had a comrade in arms to march along with me I would have gone. One can make all kinds of different plans, but some of the best decisions are made in the moment and this was one of safety and numbers.<br />
<br />
No cell phone service, but email, blog and facebook are fine. All I have to do is think back to 10th year of high school and remember I had none of those things. You literally went more than a week without talking to anyone back home and your letters and postcards arrived after you were home.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02136987872170353627noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342280697412091192.post-66814637461673400152011-06-24T06:41:00.000-05:002011-06-24T06:41:58.447-05:001st Day in ToulouseI have arrived in lovely Toulouse! Beautiful architecture, canal du midi, Garrone river and lots of students here in the old town.<br />
<br />
The first pictures were in the taxi and then pulling up to the hotel. Capitole square is just outside the door and my 3rd floor window. It's the first time I have really seen a square in France. Right now it feels more like Italy and their many squares.<br />
<br />
The flight over was great. I almost didn't make the connection from Florida/Atlanta to the Atlanta/Paris. Everyone was on the plane and their were just three people left getting on. And guess what flight they were on? Yep, you guessed it...mine! Florida was slooooww with everything today. Somebody get those people some coffee!<br />
<br />
It is 1:05pm right now here and the jet lag is starting to hit me since it's just 6 or 7 o'clock at home and I haven't slept a wink. Too excited! Oh my, the Air France airline food is sooo good! I kept my menu but don't feel like digging it out right now...catch it later.<br />
<br />
I shall give the tour of my room also, bidet in the bathroom and all.<br />
<br />
Thanks to the DH for the new camera and Sav's quick lesson! Hopefully they will get better as I go along.<br />
