One Word A Week Wednesday ...

Perceived

***

I possessed my soul

and finally,

though the delay was long,

perceived some appearances of bloom.

A Canvas ...

Love

is a canvas
furnished
by Nature
and

embroidered

by

imagination

A real mixture of temperatures today! We noticed the difference first thing this morning.

79 degrees but felt like 91 with the humidity...

lots of wind...

then rain...

then sunshine.

Thankful {things I love} Thursday...

I came home with lots of photos of barns from our days away this past Summer ...
I ♥ LOVE ♥ barns ...
the more aged/worn/weathered/ the better ...

but then ...

we came across this barn

which reminded me of a saying I have ~ when we are out and I touch up my lipstick I will say I'm "putting a little paint on the barn" :-)

and I guess it really does make a difference :-)

Every job

is a self-portrait

of the person who did it.

Autograph your work

Quietly

falling leaves

hide the path

so quietly

Eternity

He who kisses the joy

as it flies

lives in eternity's

sunrise

Fence Friday ...

The softest things in the world

overcome

the hardest things in the world

There's an old rusty fence that I walk by most mornings with Ernie. One day I noticed a single morning glory vine was curling itself in and out of the wires. Then I noticed it was in bloom and thought of how that one little vine in bloom had turned the fence into something beautiful ♥

Dog Day Afternoon...

The leaves of our Maple tree are turning colour and dropping all over our front garden.

I started gathering up the prettiest leaves to press.

This photo of Ernie made me smile ... he looked like he had the silliest grin :-)
We are so thankful to have him !

He turns 12 next month ♥ and even though we only adopted him 9 months ago, I can't imagine him not being part of our family.
My faithful companion... no matter where I am, he follows.
And I wouldn't have it any other way!
Ernie is loving the cooler weather we enjoyed over the labour day weekend and while Summer seems to have passed by so quickly, I love September and happy to be heading into my favourite season Autumn!
All seasons are beautiful

for the person

who carries happiness

within ♥

Remember

***

Try to remember

the kind of September

when life was slow and oh so mellow.

Try to remember

the kind of September

when grass was green and grain so yellow.

Try to remember

the kind of September

when you were young and a callow fellow.

Try to remember

and if you remember

then follow ... follow ... oh~oh.

"Try To Remember"

~Lyrics by Tom Jones & Harvey Schmid

Happy September 1st ♥
