No snow winter cold a bit

it's nice out there 

when you're fully bundled 

and warm is how i'm wrapped. 

crumpled in a package. 

 

Good for taking me outside 

up and down the drive. 

feel alive. sakes alive

 snowflakes

 

 

 

Good light

the combination of seasons, this and the last. winter is a hint. dark is quicker. rereading A ken follett. after thirty years it's like the first time. a fine author for me.

Election is happening finally

been waiting a long, long while. enough. need it all behind. have reading and writing to do. my words have been shallow. could use a referendum i even feel i've gained a pound. look at the stars or remember the sea at night; what a hevenly scent. from land you see the stars, from the sea you can't see them well. i think of stars in my dreams. sparkling stars come aboard and yes, swimming. that's good dipping.

October is over now

we finish today then that's it. costumes, candy for kids. dark sky and wind puffs. no music, a lag. a drag on festivities. indians were the people first to know this land walked beaches thick with sand. followed the endless stars by so many plants and trees. under sun moon and mars, this i'n working to put togethero

Warm and Wonderful

late in fall season. temperatures are hospitable. very still this morning. you see many fallen leaves as the early sun shines through the trees. my coffee is luke warm but drinkable ... that's cause i'm slow. Meri is making scrambled eggs

One for the golden gate

forty years ago or so 

when we crossed the joyous bridge, 

our hearts filled with everything that should be. 

they are, we are, completly.

 tai chi, chinese food, boats, happy. good friends, 

bay crossings. the best seasons, rain, wind. the scent of water, 

always. gladness in our hearts. 

 

 

Sufficient tints to amaze

 

brilliance resounds beyond believeability 

just when it seems unavailable. 

digest the morning scene.

 hurl a beam. peaches and cream.

 satisfy your dream.

 where there's love in between, 

hugs help lots of things.

Horns aplenty

apple cider is nearly 

 

 

ready. we can heat it

 on cool nights. 

sounds the way we've always 

done i don'f say it's 

regular this time of year.

 could seem so. should we 

practically expect it? 

 i can't for sure say one way or 'nuther.

Dancing today

the full hour filled with joy. 

 

moving as best we can, 

these old folks tapping the boards, 

 an hour's worth, 0h boy. 

 we'll keep old heads together. 

tap it out. an hour, 

minutes, that's right

 a good afternoon. 

 dressed and mentally able. 

yes. we are.

Sadly darkened

a spot on my neck hardly noticed felt this Sunday secondarily. overlooked though seen before. the doctor will check me today. unlike cars that whip by so quickly i see no more than a blure.

Ruffled clouds on high

who's that guy in the sky? 

0h my? why am i so bygone? 

a song's worth. i measured, 

that's how much. 

how often out of touch. 

 that such, so much. ruffled.

Found the noteboard

there plain as day 

could be seen what i say 

 is what is said you know come what may

 then blown away 

so write it down while it's around 

 have it your way

 i'll dot my noteboard.

Huddle by the tree bushes

we've sun a lot today you see. you know the feeling. a bright run worth every ray. warms like an arm on your shoulder. when all is quiet this is our kind of day.

Cottontail

we are winding time in circles. weeks gather then pass. i'd sure like a bus pass plus an afternoon to go around skipping with the bunnies. great ambition.

Way do we have?

beginning this date, sort of. 

how can we say when day begins. 

you see it is not night. 

this is the tell. when you have the choice 

 it's one Way or all the other.

Splash zone

that's the local pool. i haven't beem swimming yet,

 but there or here now i have an inclination.

Fireplace or not

so he looks and sells 

i told m to get him out. 

we'll talk to another guy. 

the story can't ever be as bad as the salesman says.

A dash of spicr

no idea what to call it. sure a name has beeb applied. an orchestra will enter. audience talking will cease. Finney Chapel September 2024 the first of six performances. we can come on down or watch at home on TV. the music wasn't conventional. for the first time i was happy it ended.

No snow Sunday

quiet and green nothing in between. near wrapping up the year with nothing going on.

Good weather day

average all temperatures, might rain overnight. feelong fine no matter. light wind amd is fine out.

RAin came full thrust

didn't hear the barrels fill. two are thia morn Didn't know a thing all night; was muuch too busy sleeping.

Easy time in and out.

without rain for a while, Sure is dry here appoaching October leaves have developed color. silent passage of time brought us here.

Outback we begin

new patio being tried out in the back vehind all we are. still air, rather fair. more or less undisturbed.

Clean slices

R how fine the beginnng hours to get us ready to meet on the day, turn lighter, open for me. steping carefully, alone you march.

Surprisingly good looking

the guy driving the bus 

or the lady selling donuts? 

the blue sky is what i mean. 

now September near the middle; 

 that's my dad on the fiddle by the way. 

 rolling out a little joy. carry on, 

play that tune, a little while.

Riding in autum before the leaves turn

dry now, rain coming. warm on the edge of hot. this is what we've got. and it's welcome. these are delightful days of the year. hence goodtimes are here. call it wall to wall the best of fall.

a t-shirt and shorts

not a ton of days left with warm weather this year. blam the season of good times out of doors got hammered. have to get back to Rome, there, now i'm looking at a ourple lamp shade i bought in North Hollywood before i knew Meri; timw to let that go.

A shiney new post

the morning after the debate. he has been crushed. our world is free again. the woodlands are quiet. we have warm days ahead. i expect the rabbits to show. writing, creating the scene; neat is how to go. grey clouds unfold above, calm charm developes. give a smile from the heart, carry a true pulse slow and steady.
