Fall in New England

10/19/08 · 5:35 pm :: posted by nursenancy     

 

When you can't get out to Vermont or New Hampshire for the foliage, don't despair. Take a drive down Route 6A or Route 28 and keep your eyes open along the way, many merchants and residents are helping to celebrate the seasons. 

Breathe in the fresh air and enjoy the smells of the season.

When Fall Comes To New England

        Words And Music By:

                                 Cheryl Wheeler

  • When fall comes to new england
  • The sun slants in so fine
  • And the air's so clear
  • You can almost hear the grapes grow on the vine
  •  
  • The nights are sharp with starlight
  • And the days are cool and clean
  • And in the blue sky overhead
  • The northern geese fly south instead
  • And leaves are Irish Setter red
  • When fall comes to New England
  •  
  • When fall comes to New England
  • And the wind blows off the sea
  • Swallows fly in a perfect sky
  • And the world was meant to be
  •  
  • When the acorns line the walkways
  • Then winter can't be far
  • From yellow leaves a blue jay calls
  • Grandmothers Walk Out In Their Shawl
  • And Chipmunks Run The Old Stone Walls
  • When fall comes to New England
  •  
  • The frost is on the pumpkin
  • The squash is off the vine
  • And winter warnings race across the sky
  • The squirrels are on to something
  • And they're working overtime
  • The foxes blink and stare and so do I
  •  
  • 'Cause when fall comes to New England
  • Oh I can't turn away
  • From fading light on flying wings
  • And late good-byes a robin sings
  • And then another thousand things
  • When fall comes to New England
  •  
  • When fall comes to New England

    About This Blog

    nancy_laverdiere_153A nurse of thirty-something years, I have transported myself to this somewhat quiet "island" for a peaceful existence more in tuned with people and nature.  I will share my views and experiences of living as a Cape Cod Washashore.
    This blog will follow the journey of doing what Cape Codders do to survive - the trade off for a higher cost of living once that bridge is crossed. All to find our peace on picturesque beaches, inhaling fresh salty air, enjoying nature and finding art around us and in ourselves. I will share my views on all that the island has to offer. Email me here.
