A Brief Visit ~

Enjoying a visit

from my

 longtime friend

 on a delightful

 October

 blue-sky

kind of day

 without ever leaving

 the yard

she will only be here

until Thursday morning so

I plan to enjoy every minute

of our time together

*  *  *

Farewells ~

 quietly

embracing

September's

expressive

farewells

*  *  *

"For summer there,

 bear in mind,

 is a loitering gossip,

 that only begins to talk of leaving

 when September rises to go."

George Washington Cable

blessings for

 a bright and colorful

weekend

what matters

isn't being applauded

when you arrive

~ for that is common ~

but being missed

when

you leave

Just One ~

"if we could see

the miracle

 of

a single flower

 clearly

 our

whole life

would change"

Buddha
