'AUTUMN FIRES'

Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!

Please do come, dear Cherry! Always room at the table and plenty to share. I am truly blessed to live in this stunning neighborhood, home for over 30 years. As a child I was enamored visiting my aunt who lived here in the village, never dreaming I would someday live here also ~ a dream come true.
