Where To Find Hudson Valley Etsy This Weekend

"The morns are meeker than they were,  

The nuts are getting brown;

The berry's cheek is plumper, 
The rose is out of town. 
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned, 
I'll put a trinket on."  

Emily Dickinson,  Nature 27 - Autumn
