climbing toward the sky

trudging yellow dawn
hoofprints snap like kindling wood
winter sweetly sighs
See more dreamy skies at Skywatch Friday.

Gone too soon

Taffeta cut-outs
Turning cartwheels at my feet
Trees undone stand watch.

Red apron ties and

Star dusted sugar cookies

First winter frosting.

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.

Maori Proverb

Happy Monday!

I planted this light pink mini fuchsia plant at the end of the greenhouse season [read: half price sales] knowing it would thrive as the earth tilted toward August and September. Its been a beautiful addition and has just now come into its prime while the other annuals are suffering heat exhaustion.

Parasols twirling

Flowing scarves pink and breathless

September arrives
