Bees, Birds, Berries, and Blooms!: Nature's first green is gold...

Nature's first green is gold...

Nature's first green is gold.

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf is a flower;

But only so for an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank with grief.

Dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.

Thank you Robert Frost for saying it so eloquently.

Its so beautiful. I love the colors. Fall is or has come fast there. We are still in the 90s for awhile. Its still green here. I have looked for changing colors but as of yet, not much.
You do live in such a pretty place. Thank you for sharing.

Sit on my porch and let's chat. Due to the amount of spam I am closing my comments to Anonymous users. Sorry.

A young girl was walking along a beach which thousands of starfish had washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement. She was doing this for some time when a man approached and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!” The girl was crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled back into the ocean. She looked up at the man and replied, "I made a diffence to that one." Soon the man and the other people on the beach helped her. All of the starfish were saved.
