Winter.
Wisdom and rest.
Long dark nights to make the light shine brighter.
Welcome, welcome!

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
-Robert Frost
This was my faaaavorite poem throughout my teen years, thanks to The Outsiders. Suddenly this Fall, I find myself reciting it in my head, constantly. It used to depress me, which I loved, drama queen that I was. Now it makes me happy.
Stay Gold Pony Boy!
Sundancing in the Summer...until next year, farewell my friend!
Happy Autumn! Don't miss the GOLD.

I LOVE the outsiders! WE used to watch that all the time! I just read in a magazine that the movie just had its 25 year anniversary! I like that poem too.

I couldn't find it, but I found it and just tried calling you back!
Hooray for fall! My older sisters used to watch the outsiders, but wouldn't let me join...boo. So I was a true outsider!
How funny that you mention the Outsiders. I just found our old VHS of the movie in the garage the other day and I thought to myself "Hmmm good movie, should I watch this again?" Dad would probably enjoy it. All those familiar faces....Remember Ms. D'Abusco had you do a paper on a gold person in your life? Ha! Well, enjoy Autumn and get ready for the Winter days.
Mom,
I can hardly remember that! Who was my golden person?
I found my Outsiders on VHS and just bought a new VCR/DVD player yesterday (old one busted), so now I can watch it!
Last night Chad turned on the t.v. to The Goonies and I said "oooooh Outsiders!!!" He was like, "nooooo, Goonies!" I guess I'm just so dying to watch it, I mistook Goonies for it. Ha ha!
