hosta and daylilies
goldenrod grows too
I sit in silence
and think about
what needs
to be done now
and what can wait
until Autumn and Winter
Years ago, an older friend said, “You learn to save some things for Winter.”

a refuge in times of trouble.

cooler weather and strong winds
all the leaves falling and we see the shapes of trees
light streams into the house as the sun moves south
red geraniums still bloom
October turns to face November

raindrops
on hosta plants
so beautiful
with and without
flowers
their leaves
in the sun
quiet grey morning
all the books
I hope to read
quiet grey morning
a page or two
and the restful view
rain and wind
flower petals
on the wood porch
local corn
and soybean fields
turning gold
wildflowers
in the yard
and along the roads
September

peaceful morning
a prayer from childhood
still with me
