(Our colors are just starting to turn, some maples showing off.)
And then I thought about my favorite CD to listen to this time of year: James Taylor's "October Road". In my Googling, I found this little snippet on You Tube, from when it was released:
This morning I plan to grab my camera, turn to this song on my Ipod, and enjoy a gorgeous fall morning.
September Grass
Well, the sun's not so hot in the sky today
And you know I can see summertime slipping on away
A few more geese are gone, a few more leaves turning red
But the grass is as soft as a feather in a featherbed
So I'll be king and you'll be queen
Our kingdom's gonna be this little patch of green
Won't you lie down here right now
In this september grass
Won't you lie down with me now
September grass
Oh the memory is like the sweetest pain
Yeah, I kissed the girl at a football game
I can still smell the sweat and the grass stains
We walked home together. I was never the same.
But that was a long time ago
And where is she now? I don't know
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/james+taylor/september+grass_20069259.html ]
Won't you lie down here right now
In this september grass
Won't you lie down with me now
September grass
Oh, september grass is the sweetest kind
It goes down easy like apple wine
Hope you don't mind if I pour you some
Made that much sweeter by the winter to come
Do you see those ants dancing on a blade of grass?
Do you know what I know? that's you and me, baby
We're so small and the world's so vast
We found each other down in the grass
Won't you lie down with me right here
September grass
Won't you lie down with me now
In this september grass
Lie down
Lie down
Lie down
Lie down
(repeat)
Won't you lie down here right now
In this september grass
Won't you lie down here now
In this september grass
Think I will grab a quilt and my book and enjoy a little of the September Grass this weekend. Hope you can too!
Beautiful bright red maple tree and I sure do love James Taylor.
