escaping the noise
watching nature’s performance
silence for the soul

shadows follow their echoes

Glory of the Season
This is an “oldie” but while wishing you a Happy Friday,
I thought I’d add some “autumn beauty” too! ♥
CELEBRATING!
Hello Friends,
WordPress tells me that it’s my 6th anniversary, but I seem to be one year off. Anyway, I’ll take it if it’s cause for celebration. 🙂 This blogging journey has been wonderful in so many ways, mostly because I’ve met all of you! I know I’ve taken some breaks, and I also haven’t blogged in the last few weeks because this class I’m taking demands a LOT of homework. I’m trying to find some type of balance, but I guess I’m just moving around here slowly. I’m done with this week’s h/w though, which is due tomorrow by noon, so I’m going to dive into my inundated email this morning and read some blogs I’ve unintentionally ignored. ♥
I’ll end with, not only a fun haiku for the new autumn season (ironically, we’re having 100 degree weather), but with also another BIG “Thank You” for all your likes and comments, but most importantly, your friendship, love, and support. ♥

Checking in
Dear Friends,
It’s been over three months since I’ve been in blogland, and I’m still unsure of my plans. But I wanted to say “hello” and see how you’re doing. I’ve been busy in school, taking another English class and writing a lot. However, I haven’t written poetry since I left for my blog break. Inspiration has been scarce, but hopefully I’ll find some soon. Anyway, I hope the new year has been great to you so far, and I wish for the coming months to be just as wonderful!
I’m closing with an old haiku from years ago and wishing you all a very Happy Friday! Sending much love, Lauren♥

Man’s Best Friend’s Entertaining Antics
Ever since Copper became a member of our family,
squirrels have become the “bane of my existence!”
He shows tremendous confidence in being able
to catch the fast little critters, but to no avail.
Jumping in the air
feeling so close, yet so far
there’s hope for next time
High up in the sky
looking down as if to smile
they always prevail
(but Copper also shares mellow moments
where he breathes in the beauty around him)
The enjoyment and fun our furry pets provide us
is priceless and worth a million smiles…

and hold Copper at the same time)
