How beautiful as it slowly unfolds to the rhythmic beat of nature...

Be always safe,

A lovely writing as usual from your pen, Annabel.
GOD BLESS YOU

It is amazing how the seasons seem to really move faster the older we get. I was up in the hills of Nova Scotia on the weekend and noticed that some of the trees are already changing colours. Scary.

I love the way you write of these patterns of change, Anna, oh it's so sad to see summer end, but...I'm an autumn girl and I'm getting ready to jump in the leaves!

beautifull... :)best wishes

...I am hanging on to every thread of summer right now :)

The seasons. They have everything we could want, some more than others.

So nice. change and renewal.

Too bad there isn't some way to slow down the process. Maybe we could chain up the "old man".....

Nicely packaged Anna, thanks Dick.

When living in the Chicago area early spring and late Autumn were always my favorite times of the year, of which, Anna, you capture the feeling... the sense of Autumn so perfectly. Good time summer always seems to go by so quickly then never ending winter sets in. Now, living in Southern California, there isn't a real noticeable change of seasons and, yes, there are times that I do miss the change of seasons,but only very early spring and Autumn.

and the old man waits in the shadows

As he always does, and far too soon, he'll be creeping around my place, too. When that day comes, I always feel a little blue.
