An Autumn Day of Rest

I love a Sunday morning still

When autumn mist is on the hill

And maple, oak and apple tree

Praise God in regal finery.

I like to wander by the pond

Where fern and wild rose drop their frond,

To watch the drake who preens a feather

And plans the flight toward warmer weather.

I like to watch each morning's dawn,

A little sad that summer's gone

And glad of sadness that's made sweet

By one more season of life complete.

And when the evening sun has set

And afterglow still lingers yet,

I too will sing with grateful praise

For beauty blessing autumn's days.

The harvest is in full swing with trucks moving down the roads. The piles of corn silage appear on the farmsteads as the corn in the fields disappear. The cycle of planting comes to an end as the crops are reaped.

Smile a little: Watch the First Step - Sam: "How can you jump off a 50-foot ladder and not get hurt." Joe: "Jump off the first step."

It was an exciting day when family and friends of ZJ Lozier participated in the Step Up for Down Syndrome 20th Annual Awareness Walk and Country Fair. The event was held at the Denver City Park on Sunday. The Weldona team walking the two mile trip around the park were: Cami, Zack, Evy and ZJ Lozier; Cindy and Foy Chapin; Wendy Lozier; Tiffany, Dick, Jasmyn and Jadyen Thompson; Skyler Scott; Audra, Foy H., Foy G., and Ady Chapin; Eva, Hunter and Gannon Cuckow; Joe Lorenzini; Cindy Powers; Susan and Kelly Hoem and Gertie Chapin. The team each wore shirts announcing the team name "Mooooing for ZJ" which of course had cows on them. Anyone wishing to make a donation to ZJ team can go to Stepdenver.org/mooing for Z.J.
