Anticipating Ms. Autumn

Happy September! I welcome the new season upon us in a few weeks with wide open arms! This summer has been stressful, and much too hot for too many consecutive days. So, cooler temps, come our way!
And on that note, Ms. Autumn has something to say…

I am not bashful. In fact, I tell it like it is, and I am thrilled that my cue for moving into your lives is coming up around the corner! In quiet moments, I reminisce on the good times when you express your oohs and aahs as I make my entrance. How I gracefully arrive donning pomegranate reds, cinnamon browns, and citrine yellows. Energy buzzes like a walk on the red carpet – a highly anticipated moment, so I have heard.

My sweet fragrance beautifies a stroll around the neighborhood. My cool touch refreshes, replacing summer’s harsh existence. And I am aware that Mr. Summer’s mood this year has been exceptionally unsympathetic toward you, my humans whom I adore!

Now regarding my work, I labor with patience and diligence – brush in hand and paint by my side to create a vibrant landscape. Lovely memories as vivid as the colors of my wardrobe…
memories of yesteryear before Mr. Raging Fire barged in, disrupting the balance of the nature of seasons.

Now, each year, a sense of dread crushes that sought-after anticipation of my arrival. And yet, defeat has not prevailed. This new reality only advises that my effort must toughen up…paint and brush lie in wait at my fingertips. The artist deep within will continue to create for you who appreciate the very essence of me.

The beach calls, and so does coffee!

Yesterday was going to be a hot one, so hubby suggested we drive into Sausalito and visit this cute little beach. The weather was cooler by the bay, and the sky was the bluest it’s ever been. We walked around, enjoying the sights, and of course, our coffee. Then some thoughts came to mind and landed in the form of Shadorma poems…

Escaping
hot temperatures
we find a
quiet beach
sights offer tranquility
breathing in salt air

Boats on the
bay, stoic in their beauty
a lifestyle
inviting
surrounded by calm water
waiting to take sail

Sitting on
the sand, toes buried
we people
watch, little
boy giggles from water joy
paddle boarders learn

Owning this
moment of stillness
together
he and I
new memory to create
over and over

Cheers! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoyed. Have a lovely week ahead! 💦💙🩵☕️

Shifting of Seasons

I’ll be off grid next week, adventuring with hubby and backpack in the wilderness. So, have a great week ahead and I leave you with this bright beauty and the moods of seasons…

Autumn admired the brilliant blue sky
Winter wiggled out of my sneakers
Spring tapped me on the shoulder
Summer’s hello, sweet as apple pie!

Last Chance

Rose 2014

It’s almost time to
let sun take its curtain call
one last chance to shine

(I’m a little premature, as the sun will shine 
for awhile longer before rain will begin,
but the garden is changing

and soon, seasons will, too.)  🙂

Summertime Wishes :)

Here’s wishing you all

fun and happy beginnings

to the summer fast approaching

School is now a subject in the past

so dab a little sunscreen,

run out and have a blast!

We’re busy with end of year activities this weekend,
so this is just a simple “hello”  and I’m sorry to be missing your
wonderful posts, but I’ll return soon (hope I’m not forgotten)  🙂

and sending wishes for a wonderful weekend!  xx
Lauren
