the weather this past weekend was absolutely gorgeous
and the trees, like magic, turned colour from one weekend to the next...
it was truly breathtaking
birds chirping
and chipmunks ...
the chippies were everywhere
now I know they seem to all look the same :-)
but there are some who have little markings that we recognize
like "Notchie" who has a V on the top of his ear
he loves peanuts!
and back at home while tidying up the garden
noticed the loveliest little heart shaped nibble in the hosta leaves.
Summer ends
and Autumn comes
and he who would have it otherwise
would have high tides always
and a full moon every night;
and thus
he would never know
the rhythms that are at the
heart
of life
