I Love October!

Our blog-0-sphere

is rich with color

and visits,

animals &

children returning

to school.

Even if we do not

especially

go out to meet it

Autumn finds us

Northerners.

I love sharing it

with YOU!

Keep those posts

coming :-)

And you of the 

Southern Climes

keep that Spring

alive in our hearts

with YOUR gems too.

I'll be here

in the sub-tropical

sun. . . 

sharing it with

YOU

Thanks

electrons to visit

Fence and Friends

A  L  O  H  A !

A Serious Working Fence

" A good neighbor smiles at you 
over the back fence, 
but doesn't climb over it. "
                       Arthur Baer

 Beside a Shady Tropical Pathway

" Think about the photo 
before and after, 
never during. 
The secret is 
to take your time. . .
 Then, however, 
you must 
be very quick. "

Enjoy Your Day!

Stages Ages Pages

A  L  O  H  A !

Three Ages

History was a subject in school

How things came to be as they are.

All too soon “Are” and “Is”

become “Was.”

History grows bigger

digesting you

and everything you hate

or love

with Change.

The role you play changes

well behaved student - push and shove

explorer planting flags in life and love,

Dancing with your special one

till tasks on the treadmill are never done.

Hopefully you’ll play again

in the gold afternoon of your shared sun

ignoring the retreating light

yet bursting to tears over geese in flight.

Look to the glowing embers

not the dark,

Pleasures and Remembers

render it much less stark.

And when I am

and when I do

among my greatest glories:

my history with you.
