This song, and this very version, was the number one hit when my dear husband was born, 55 years ago today. Each day we have been together has been a beautiful blessing, unique and beautiful as the Autumn leaves.
"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark

I love fall colors. Happy Birthday to your dh!!!
The Autumn Leaves melody was originally a French song; this Williams version went to #1 on the US pop charts.
Nice pix. Every year I wonder how many more Falls I'll see. I never think that about Winter, Spring, or Summer.
I did not know it was originally a French song! That's neat!
You are right--Fall really does have that poignant quality about it, doesn't it?
The Church knows what she is doing in commemorating the Holy Souls during this month.
