September 27, 2018 ~ Life Keeps Moving

Before I knew it, summer passed in a blink!

Flowers have bloomed and faded away,

Warm breezes have come and gone,

 Sunsets that were once late in the evening

are now on our doorstep not long after dinner!

Summer was a mixture of 

unusually hot days

and lots of sunshine,

bird watching, butterfly gazing 

and catching the scent of my sweet

Butterfly Bush through the open windows.

Summer was unhurried mornings 

relaxing on the back deck,

feeling the sun's rays wrap their

beautifully warm arms around me.

It was sightings of tiny newborn fawns,

the long awaited return of my hummingbirds

and nest building in my birdhouses.

It was rainbows on my kitchen walls

as sunshine glistened through my prism,

It was vases of flower bouquets

from roadside stands, fresh berries

and hot fudge sundaes

while driving through the country,

winding down after long, busy days. 

 

Then, slowly but surely, the changes came.

Those little changes like the color of the sky, 

the way the leaves look on the trees

and the lack of katydids singing in the night.

Sultry evenings dwindled, cooler mornings

greeted us as we stepped out the door.

And now, here we are, welcoming 

the season of Autumn, before I'm

really ready to let summer go....

 

 Yet, here I am, digging out my Autumn

displays ~ colorful leaf garlands, 

scarecrows, candles for the mantle

and a wreath for the front door....

And I hope, my dear friends, that this post

finds you all happy and healthy,

moving along productively in life,

much the same as I!

P.S. If you have an iPad, iPhone or smartphone like me, you've no doubt realized how much easier it is to jump on the internet and do what once was only done from our computers at home! I recently found an app that's quite simple to use and allows the upload of information quickly and with ease. These days, that's a really intriguing idea to me, because I hardly ever sit down at the computer much anymore! And I'd rather do a short but sweet post, than to have no post at all, which, sadly, has been the case here.

I've tried repeatedly to use the Blogger app on my device, in an attempt to post quick updates here and there, but for some reason there's always a glitch and it ends up booting me off the post I'm trying to post! :/

So I'd like to invite you to join me over at my new page (don't worry I'll still post here from time to time), where I hope to keep in touch with you all much more regularly. And the nice thing is, it's computer friendly, too. Please stop in and say hello!☺
