Dark October Days

Fall days...
Gray
Dark, dreary
Damp, murky

Pervasive gloom
Yet…
In the midst of lurking gray,
dark, dreary, damp,
murky and pervasive gloom
There is still
Penetrating Light
Subtle splashes of color
Magical displays of wonder
Nudging us to remember
That delight and hope and love remain
Amid Autumn Days

Finding Spring

I went out looking for spring. Here’s what I found.

Wildlife. 

Well, not so wild, since the chickens were cooped up and the horse stared at me from behind a fence. 

Flowers.

There we go. Spring signs. Very nice.

Foliage.

Actually, I think this is an all-seasons shrub, colorful year round in these parts.

Green.

Green and spring. Spring and green. They just go together.

Rain.

Nothing says spring like a gentle shower.

Spring, wherever you are, may it be…
Today's gift.
