“Oh” The Chill In The Air “Oh” the chill in the air makes for a picturesque sight in front of the fire, but I am compelled to remain for Nature desires an audience wanting to see her beauty in all of its shades of splendor. Last summer blooms are trying there hardest to display the awesome beauty they possessed. Fall is coming and so are the delights that come with the chilled air. Strong willed and hardy these winter arrivals of Natures bounty beginning there timing just right so as to not leave Nature naked and barren at any given moment. Even the flying creatures of the air sing a different tune, one more urgent scampering about to get ready for winter and the scarcity of sustenance. As with Nature also with man there is going to be a changing of seasons, there is no stopping its coming. You must ride these changing times open minded, with a willingness to grow and become one in mind, body and soul, in order to not fall to the way side in bewilderment. There is always forward motion in all that is alive and loss in all that is not taken into the soul pondered on with insight and wisdom. No matter what the future holds I will try to keep a mind set always with eager heart and hopefully the wisdom to understand the events before me so as to grow in the same way as does Nature giving of herself freely always with loving care to all that she provides for and this includes me. “Oh” the chill in the air a delight to the very marrow in my bones, my heart beats a little faster this morning out of sheer delight for life and a thankfulness to have the chance to be part of such wonderment and beauty that has been offered to me, and I give thanks.

For me Cerenity, the fall can't come fast enough. . . this makes me want to break out the hot cider and go on a hay ride. . . Wonderful, my friend. . . ------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

This is so lovely, Cerenity, and brings to mind that first brisk day of autumn. How you've captured the feeling of excitement and wonder in this poem Liz |

Cerenity~ Your thoughts are so lovely. 'As with Nature also with man there is going to be a changing of seasons' What a thought ....  I don't care for cold (or even cool) weather ... but I do like the images it brings to poetic minds. Love ya', gal. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Hi Janet Marie, So nice to be here, life has been full of work and other stuff. Yes this morning was such a delight, I desided I was going to sit and enjoy the day rather than kill myself doing all that is supost to be done and it was so worth it, thank you so much for your loving reply I plan on trying to be here more. Hi Sven, Oh I could do with out the cold completely but you can not enjoy a fire without it as far as cider "yuck" there is a place not far from here called Julian and they grow apples and so every year its the thing to do go up there and get pies, cider and apple juice. My friend I am so thankful to see your reply and hope to talk to you soon.. Hi Liz, So nice to hear your sweet words, yes this morning I took the time to enjoy the beauty around me and I am so glad I did, I pray all is well, I think of you and Tony all of the time. Thank you so much. Hi dear sweet friend, Im with you I do not like the cold at all, one year long ago when I was pregnant with my first child (almost 9 mo.) I made the mastake of going to the mountains with my husband when there was a lot of snow and he wanted to go to this certain lake up there well besides the fact it was so hard to walk in that stuff we got lost on the way back and ended up walking all after noon, I was so scared and sleep a whole day after we got home, and to this day I have kept my promise to never go to the snow again, but that could change you never know. Thank you friend for your kind reply. Love to all, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

So very nice to see you among us again and you brought with you, one excellent verse filled with sincerity and offerings of thanks to what so many of us take for granted. Beautifully penned my friend and once again...so nice to see you back |

Yes, we should all follow nature's example, wonderful thoughts here. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |
