I sit here in my rocking chair
Slowly rocking to and fro
Feasting upon a fall sun~set
With a candy~apple glow

My potted mums start to shimmy
As a crispness bites the breeze
Sparrows softly tweet thier prayers
As they bed down in the trees

Fire~pit flames do the tango
Writhing in Septembers chill
Casting out flickering shadows
Which dance wild upon the hill

The days are much shorter now
Old man winters on his way
For now I'm going to treasure
Each beautiful Autumn day

Me too, I plan on observing and enjoying this beautiful weather we now have, Alana. Soon it will be swallowed by winter's rage. Nice work.

The colors of Autumn provide many a muse, as does Spring...both of which tease the runners on my own, old caned rocker.

Splendid imagery Pinky, that brings it all home.

Nice, my friend! We're feeling Autumn down here too, been wonderful, but the humidity is suppose to be setting in pretty good in next few days . . . yuk!  Love the 30 to 50 percent range SO MUCH MORE than the 90 percent ranges or more.

Even though, I never figured out how when it pouring rain and L & T, how we can have a humidity reading of 85 or so percent. . .

Enjoyed,

j.

You do indeed have a "candy~apple glow" Miss Pinky. Just thought I'd stop by to rock with ya awhile.

As you can see by my image, time has reclaimed it's 'glow', leaving me looking more like a 'candied~yam'. But that's okay. Miranda's veranda stretches three-quarters 'round the house, so I've more places to hide, depending on the time of day.

If ya hear some heavy crunching sounds Pinky, that's be me crackin' walnuts under yer' runners!

Rock on Toots! Be c'n ya!
