O World, I cannot hold thee close enough!

Outside my window
My part of the world is glorious! The weather this first week of November could fool me into thinking it’s early October. It’s sunny, and warm enough to run without sleeves. All I want to do is walk through the neighborhood and look. Look at every single leaf. Run and laugh and gaze with wonder at the blue sky. Does anyone say it better than Edna St Vincent Millay?
O world, I cannot hold thee close enough!
…Thy woods, this autumn day,
…all but cry with colour!
…Lord I do fear
Thou’st made the world too beautiful this year.
