While sitting
at the side entrance,
the oak tree
towering above me,
I could see
the golden leaves
changing
in the sunlight

Looking down
I saw a robin
and a dragonfly
on a blue hydrangea bush

Autumn
is definitely
on its way

I never use an easel to paint
and now it seems no sense to me
to drink fermented drinks
I have never had a fracture
(touch wood)
for which I am doubly thankful

Hip Hip Hooray!
They won an award today
and if I may say
"They deserved it"

Imagine

running along to a song
I have a stitch in my side

My woman's intuition
causes me to stop
for a while
and have a drink
of an inch of water

Feeling refreshed
I could now go on

On this horrible
wet and windy day
I was glad to have
somewhere to go
and play

A dichotomy of scent
wafted towards us
as we walked around
the garden borders
watching the buzzing bees
pollinating
and listening
to our feathered friends
nest-building
when
a low-flying jet
with it's sonic boom
and blazing trail
flew overhead momentarily
distracting our attention
but not for long
tranquility soon returned

We found one slug
yesterday
in my bathroom
This doesn't seem
hygienic to me
I wish the workmen
would hurry up
and do their job
putting a new floor
and drain in
They've been looking
and contemplating
without actually
doing it
yet

They give me the heeby jeebies
