THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
AUTUMN is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter
AUTUMN whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key
AUTUMN is an introspective season, when stray thoughts of the mind dive into the mystique of the soul
- Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Happy Holidays to you.
Oh, clever indeed, Gemma! Great one for the day and the season! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead and a very Merry Christmas!

Looks like we were on the same Fairy Tale page. :)
Perhaps Hans and Greta had been stolen by the wicked witch long ago and their siblings rescued them. I like your Hansel and Gretel take on this week's picture.
More mouths to feed.... hope they have enough!!! :O)
Sounds as if they are really going to have a Christmas Reunion. A Wonderful Christmas is wished for you Gemma.
Just what the poor man needs-two more mouths-LOL! Cute one this week...
very good, I like the way you weaved the children's story into it.
Great minds think alike! LOL! :O)
Oh, a nice happy ending, Gemma! Well done!
Merry Christmas!
The twins found for Christmas. Nice story!
ha ha this was good one!
Oh--I like what you did with this! Who knew that Hansel and Gretal had siblings??? Not me, that's for sure.
Have a wonderful holiday season. Cheers!
What an endearing little tale!
Sooooo sweet. Welcome Hans & Greta.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Namaste.
