Here, ...DFTP,<BR/>What interesting comments from the UK. Here, "Indian Summer" is the weather that begins just as Wayfaring Wanderer mentions below. The leaves turn color, the air is crisper. I've never heard it described for a heat as you mentioned it is there, and never for any months other than late Aug.-Oct., depending upon how early winter wants to push in. I hope we have a long "Indian Summer" this year, that the colored leaves stay on the trees longer than they did around my town last year (it was beautiful until some blasted heavy winds came).<BR/><BR/>WW,<BR/>It really was a great poem and it's exciting to me that now some new readers know about it, and her. The bios I read say that her early writing was done anonymously, then when her parents needed assistance and her husband's work couldn't provide it all she wrote seriously - under the name of Mrs. Sigourney. :)Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-1509645275675096182008-08-28T06:17:00.000-07:002008-08-28T06:17:00.000-07:00Soft and illusive as a fairy dream,Lapp'd all the ...Soft and illusive as a fairy dream,<BR/>Lapp'd all the landscape in its silvery fold.<BR/><BR/>50 books?!
