NOVEMBER...was soft & mellow, with pale, aerial mists in the valleys & over the leafless beeches on the western hill...The leaves were still thick on the apple trees, though they were russet hued...The wind made a sweet, drowsy murmur in the boughs”

...the Lake of Shining Waters was blue—a clear, steadfast, serene blue, as if the water were past all moods & tenses of emotion & had settled down to a tranquility unbroken by fickle dreams.

“ If I really wanted to pray I’ll tell you what I’d do. I’d go out into a great big field all alone or into the deep, deep, woods, and I’d look up into the sky — up — up — up — into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. “

But everything in the landscape around them spoke of autumn. The sea was roaring hollowly in the distance, the fields were bare and sere, scarfed with golden rod…and the Lake of Shining Waters was blue — blue — blue

“It was November — the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines.”

“The autumn drifted by, maple fires were kindled…lady fern turned brown…A gracious September and a mellow #October were succeeded by a soft and sad #November, when long silken lines of rain slanted across the sere hillsides.”

Oh, Marilla, I wouldn’t go through the Haunted Wood after dark now for anything. I’d be sure that white things would reach out from behind the trees and grab me.” 👻

👻 “I can’t go through the Haunted Wood, Marilla,” cried Anne...There’s a white lady walks along the brook just about this time of the night and wrings her hands and utters wailing cries. 🫈💀 And there’s a headless man stalks up and down the path and skeletons glower at you . 👀

🐈‍⬛ “Can Peg Bowen turn herself into a black cat?” asked Felix, staring. “It’s my belief that that is the least of Peg Bowen’s accomplishments,” answered Uncle Roger.

🙀 A haunted wood is so very romantic, Marilla. There’s a white lady walks along the brook just about this time of the night and wrings her hands and utters wailing cries.🪦

There was a reek of leaf fires all through the Glen, a heap of big yellow #pumpkins in the barn… Ingleside rang with laughter from dawn to sunset. Even Gilbert laughed more than usual this fall. "I like a dad who can laugh," Jem reflected.

“You may never know what scarlet & crimson really are until you see them in their perfection on an #October hillside, under the unfathomable blue of an #autumn sky.

All the glow & radiance and joy at earth's heart seem to have broken loose”
