31 Days of October: Day 21... Simply Pleasant

 

 

 

 

"There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots

 may be lighted on,

 and produce so pleasant an effect

  on the feelings,

 as now in October."

- Nathaniel Hawthorne  

 

 

This willow tree pattern is found in many Colonial American samplers and was meant as a symbol of longevity, strength, and devotion. Such a simple pattern to express so much!
