at the heart ♥ of life ...

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
