Autumn Quotes

Happy October!

A beautiful autumn has arrived in the higher elevations of Colorado!

"Listen! The wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves. We have had our summer evenings, now for October eves!"

~ Humbert Wolfe

My husband and I love to take scenic drives this time of the year.  We packed in many miles and saw many sights last week on our travels. One highlight was taking a ride on the Durango to Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in Durango, Colorado. This is a historic train that travels up into the San Juan Mountains to the old mining town of Silverton. More about this train ride in my next blog post.

Here are a few of my favorite Autumn quotes to go along with some of the beautiful scenery that we saw...

"October is the treasure of the year."

~ Paul Laurence Dunbar

"The heart of Autumn must have broken here, and poured its treasure upon the leaves." 

~ Charlotte Bates

"October is the opal month of the year. It is the month of glory, of ripeness. 

It is the picture month"

~ Henry Ward Beecher

"As long as Autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, canvas, and color enough to paint the beautiful things I see."

~ Vincent van Gogh

"No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face."

~ John Donne

"October is a hallelujah! reverberating in my body year-round." 

~ John Nichols

"The beauty of the trees,

the softness of the air,

the fragrance of the grass,

speaks to me.

At the summit of the mountain,

the thunder of the sky,

speaks to me,

The faintness of the stars,

the trail of fire,

and the life that never goes away

they speak to me. 

And my heart soars!"

~Chef Dan George

"Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves change."

~ Elizabeth Lawrence
