Above me, wind does its best
to blow leaves off
the aspen tree a month too soon.
No use wind. All you succeed
in doing is making music, the noise
of failure growing beautiful.

Ice Milk Aprons →
Who knew aprons could be so elegant?! I love the story behind these, too — a granddaughter taking sewing lessons from her grandmother, which blossomed into a collaborative project that lives on after the grandmother’s passing.

Nothing Gold Can Stay (Robert Frost)
angelsci:
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
One of my favorites.
