Discover how this transitional season can reveal both the abundance and the limitations of our everyday lives. Autumn, with all its traditional images of colorful trees, frost-covered pumpkins, and piles of wood stored up against winter's cold, can be a season filled with anticipation. The harvest, the imminent onset of cold and snow, the resumption of old routines, and the beginning of the school year all require preparation and planning. If summer has been something of a pause, autumn helps us to see the passage of time more clearly. Autumn is a season of fruition and reaping, of thanksgiving and celebration of abundance and goodness of the earth. But it is also a season that starkly and realistically encourages us to see our own limitations. Warm and stirring pieces by E. B. White, Anne Lamott, P. D. James, Julian of Norwich, May Sarton, Kimiko Hahn, and many others in this beautiful book rejoice in autumn as a time of preparation and reflection, when the results of hard labor are ripe for harvest.

Harry and Vera have lost their long term spouses and are struggling to adjust to life as senior citizens who are single again. They were drawn together when Harry impusively buys an old watercolor in a Maine antique shop. It is in very bad condition and Harry asks Vera, an accomplished artist, to help him restore it. She discovers the watercolor conceals a beautiful oil portrait of a gorgeous woman which a prominent museum in Washington identifies as the work of Winslow Homer. This plunges Harry and Vera into an action packed quest to establish provenance since the circumstances of the discovery suggest it was stolen. Along the way they also unravel the identity of the woman and the story of Homers tragic love affair with a girl he met during the peninsula campaign in the Civil War. As they are engaged in their joint enterprise, a lovely Geriatric Romance evolves and comes to fruition when provenance is established and the painting is sold.
