Fall, Leaves, Fall
Emily Brontë

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.

Hold on to my hand

“Hold on to what is good, even if it is a handful of earth. Hold on to what you believe, even if it is a tree which stands by itself. Hold on to what you must do, even if it is a long way from here. Hold on to life, even when it is easier letting go. Hold on to my hand, even when I have gone away from you.” Nancy Wood

Monterchi and Piero della Francesca

I recently had the pleasure of checking off a bucket list item! It was to go on the so-called Piero della Francesca trail, starting in Monterchi, going on to Sansepolcro, and ending in Arezzo.
These photos show interesting places in the small hilltop village of Monterchi. We are still in Tuscany, but only just!

    I will be discussing the beautiful paintings by Piero in a future post.
