Irony

The truth in advertising

The place to go when you want to 'watch' your weight gain, but such a delicious way to go.

Some folks are great at their job. 

trying to make up their minds 

Big business at its best.

Good morning.    How are  you today?   Thursday morning all over again.  Didn't I just say that?  Seems like it.   A holiday weekend and the end of summer.   Fall is such a beautiful time of year.   Just think the holidays are around the corner, hard to believe.    I know, bite my tongue . . . smile . . . we are never ready even when forewarned.   Better get the rake out first as the leaves are beginning to fall.   Exercise is good for the body, if not the soul.    

Leaves

Crunching, crispy, wind blown leaves
reds with browns and greens
huddled on the sidewalk
waiting for a breeze.

The inner eye, the child's eye
remembers days of yore
when walking off to school
we kicked them to and fro
making noises as we'd go.

Laughter filled the air
the leaves so very light
scattered with our kicks
as they took a long, long flight.

We hurried home to find the rake
and make huge piles of leaves
built so high they couldn't fly
until we jumped right in
chasing them back to their ground
only to rake again.

Crunching, crispy, wind blown leaves
revives the memory
as I walked along the street
kicking leaves aside
smiling, grinning, feeling good
as the leaves went sailing by.

So make a date with your rake and have a Fall to remember.   Don't forget one good deed today.  Smile with your eyes and bear hugs are so needed and necessary.  Give a little and get  a lot.  Hugs to all.
