The day started with a slight coolness in the air, but, unfolded into a remnant summer day. It was steeped in copious blushes of saturation, the sun and shine lighting up my fading complexion. Sometimes, life can be almost too good!
These fern-like leaves are a vibrant green color, always a surprise in the spring, lasting until the fall, looking decidedly soft, but, the truth is, it is a poser. They don't feel soft, but, my love for them is in their unusual look, they show off their unique character with their brilliant color. When I first met them, I thought they were pines, but, losing their leaves seals that idea. Looks can be so deceiving, can't they?
It is so misleading, these moments when Autumn first shows up, in summer clothing, not quite ready to let it go. Are we ever ready to let the good times go? I had a dream last night, letting those poignant thoughts slip through. It must be the Autumn, that time for reflection and change. I had to order some flowers today for a long-distance birthday. I don't usually order flowers, there is just no control over what they will have for stock on hand. But, she loves flowers, so I took a chance. Some days, you have to throw caution to the wind and just do it. In the end, the flowers were brilliantly colored, just like Fall. It is too late to send Summer, it seems so much like a clearance item. I never used to put that much thought into what I got. I felt like I just got caught wearing white after Labor Day. It used to be a thing, especially if you lived in New England. My grandmother wouldn't be caught dead wearing summer after a certain date. I don't care how much she would perspire, because we all know proper ladies don't sweat. My daughter informed me the other day she will never be a proper lady. She sweats.
I raise my glass to her, the luck of the Irish be with her. Take a shamrock. They grow haphazardly in my garden, mostly without permission. I think one of my kids planted them. I am sure I didn't invite them. But, then again, they are pretty little flowers. For me, that in itself begs forgiveness. We know that there will be an interruption of service somewhere in the post for the allowance of flowers. #alwaysaflower
As promised, I give you one Christmas picture, to spread the joy of that season, hoping to give Autumn permission to join in. Peace on Earth, Goodwill towards men. How can that ever be a bad thing? Just to keep up to date: The Christmas Countdown: 83 Days 00 hours and 17 minutes and 03 seconds.
I just want to lay and rest;
lay and rest, lay and rest
Can one conceive, my ability to be;
anything more than a moment in time;
which is gone, gone, gone
Fly away and spread your seeds,
examine the beauty, of things to be
Another day, another month, another season in time
There is beauty in the demise of things.
Barely, but still #Caturday! Good night to all, goodnight. ❤️
And just that quick, this show is over. Tag me and I will visit you too! Thank you for allowing me to muse about and as always, I wish you a wonderful day!
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Shakespeare

Autumn is is very near, perhaps it may start right now. Nature always show its first sign just turning leaves yellow from green. Flowers are good elements for wishing your birthday or someone else. Life consist of lot of small things that arround us and specially which is mostly take care about it and became valuable when we notice to someone. Have a wonderful day.
Life does consist of small things around us, some that we never see until much later when it affects us.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day.

Thank you for the repost @pixresteemer! Much appreciated!
I'm trying to hold on to summer !
It seems like it was only about 2 weeks between staying light till 9 pm and it getting dark nearly before 7:30. It's already playing it's mind game on me. It gets dark, I slow down and a while later it feels like it should be time for bed. I look at the clock and it's only 9:30 or so.... what ?.... I mean, I like it when I see it is not time for bed but...... it's going to take some adjustment. I'm thinking already it's going to be a LOOOOoooOOOOooonnnnngggggg..... winter.
I know!! Can you believe it? Dark so early! Good thing we aren't farmers! Wasn't it last week that is was light until the real bedtime? Well, that is exaggerating a little bit, but the point is, this Fall thing is ruining me! Who do I call about that?
I don't know, but when you find out, share the number and I'll call them every 20 minutes till they change it back to summer.
The sqeeky wheel and all that ya know.
Truth! I'll get right on it! Oh, you will become more than a squeaky wheel! You will get your name on the list. You know, the list? Because I cannot believe you want to be on that list!
This Autumn gig is a little bit too early! Let's say we ditch this and go find something a little tropical, with no COVID. ;)
Sign me up !
That's when you need to get out and enjoy the stars :) ....

How do you come up with so much beauty? I always come away from your blog joyful. Thank you.
How is it that your words always make me feel so special? It never fails. Thank you so much. Truly.
We currently have autumn/fall in Hungary. The summer was hot (around 40 °C), but yesterday is nothing close to it. The peak was around 19 °C yesterday.
There is no such thing as "too good", but the opposite of it is unfortunately exists.
Now let us take a closer look, and think about something. I probably already asked this question. So if God is so loving towards their creatures, why everything is built upon suffering and killing? The whole nature. Many animals eat each other, some of them do it even when their prey is still alive.
I believe in God. I just do not understand this. Does God find any enjoyment or entertainment in the suffering of his creatures? If not, then why let them suffer? What is behind their/our suffering? Why their/our suffering is necessary?
I would really love to know the answer to these questions, but only God can answer them.
I give you some !PIZZA and !LUV.

I believe in God too, yet, I do not understand everything there is about Him. The mystery is alive for me. Why the suffering? I wish I had answers for you. I don't have them for me, so I won't be passing BS to you.
I am sure we will both get answers on judgment day. Just a word to the wise, don't anger God. :) I hear He owns the other place too.
Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!
Well like the saying goes, ""If there's a God, he's got a lot of explaining to do."
Our life is also like a season, first beautiful like spring and full of happiness then with time it falls like autumn۔
True. You know you are being downvoted. You should go to Hivewatchers and find out why.
I have contacted, I have made a mistake and for this I have been blacklisted for one month.
And yet, you are powering down. Will you be staying?
I'm here to stay. I'm not going anywhere
The flowers are so beautiful.
Looking forward to the day I'd be gifted one.
Thank you so much, Ruth! I appreciate the words! I love flowers, almost any kind of them.
Are you waiting for someone special to gift you?
Yes I am🤗
I've always considered flowers to come from loved ones, as much as I love myself enough to get one for myself.
This is amazing, I love your poem
