Tuesday SOL 9/15/15 - Fall is fast approaching

Ahh, a breathe of freshness is filling the air
The morning dew lingers longer
As the temperature stay cool
Until the sun rises high in the sky.

Open the windows
Turn off the air conditioning
Snuggle in the warmth of the bed
Take a long walk
Watch the leaves change colors
And fall softly to the ground
The flowers are fading, but
The mums and black eyed susans
spread their sunshine throughout the land.

Fall is fast approaching
A time of reaping and rejoicing
A time to take a deep breathe
A time to reflect on the summer that is past
A time to look forward
A time to be thankful for all God's blessings.

    Thank you for sharing. I love the imagery in your poem. It is a time to look forward. I love mums and black eyed susans. I hope to take some pictures soon of the fall foliage. ;)

    We didn't know it the mums we put in the ground last yer would do anything. Now they are blooming and add that special touch of Fall color to our yard. Truly a beautiful time of the year.

    Beautiful Judy! We aren't seeing too many fall signs just yet as temps are still in high 80's during the day and the evening temps in the 60's.

    It's very sweet, Judy, & I'm happy for you, but laughing too because I wrote of wishing for change. It's still very hot here. Only the flowers that are now blooming seem to be announcing autumn.

    With each season changing, I also think it's my favorite. So now as fall approaches and the cooler temps arrive ... I'm falling in love with fall again. Thanks for the beautiful reminder through the power of your words and imagery! Love you, Mom!

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
