O Hushed October Morning Mild

  This begins the poem, October by Robert Frost.
   Poetry is another one of my great loves, I share with you some lines from this jewel.
   O hushed October morning mild,
   The leaves have ripened to the fall;
   Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
   Should waste them all.
   and it continues, read it slow and lingering, this October.
   Think outside the box, of People magazine and CNN and explore the great poets.
      John Keats wrote in the poem titled To Autumn, Seasons of mist and mellow fruitfulness,
                                                                                   Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun


  You all know by now, my soul works hard, in this hushed season of warm colors.
   This October has been delightful in temperature, but heavy in my heart.
   A friends child has had the diagnosis of cancer, another friend's husband decided to leave this earth too soon. My neighbor of long ago, called this week, to let me know her sister had died, and a young boy had hung himself. She needed a listening ear, and that is all I had. The world is in turmoil, upside down crazy, Ebola, hatred, wars and yet I see hope around me all day, everyday.
   October you are testing me, with your pumpkin smells and vibrant orange and yellows, however....I see winters reach, and I will be ready.
   You shall become my close bosom-friend, and this journey of falling leaves, we will walk.
    Tomorrow I go to the doctor, with My Emma, she has suffered this week with kidney stones. We will get up early ( Baron Household!) and head out into the traffic, to seek some guidance from a new doctor. ( I hope he likes October!) We travel full of hope, for answers and no more questions!
    Tuesday we made a run to the ER, with the queen, in agony and in afternoon traffic. Being of sound mind, is not a strong suit of mind, so I was in panic mode and Bill was driving in the emergency lane that was full of pot holes!) Emma screaming, and puking in a garbage bag.We were near the hospital, but I did not see the light at the end of the tunnel, so I called the ER. They listened and passed me onto the triage nurse. I explained my problem, and I asked for help." DO you want the ambulance to meet you?" she asked. " We are one mile from the hospital, I don't think that will work, but.....she is going numb and I need to do something!" " Well.........you are almost here!" " Thank you, that has helped so much.......just talk me down off the ledge", " Get ready, because I'm walking straight in!",( no stopping to collect 200 dollars,Monopoly people)  They were nice and helpful, until I was freezing, but that is a whole other blog. Emma looked over at me and said, " I know this is going in your blog!" " Well, maybe??" said your loving mother.
  October you are full of mischief, gloom and rotting leaves, be kind to me and my friends.
  I think I just heard a RAVEN fly over out house!!!
