Small fluttering down,
pause, grab a sunflower seed -
     up, up and away.

 Bracken have turned brown,
"tamracks" are turning yellow -
      an ending coming?

Just feeling a little uneasy - saw a piece about how public climate change conversation and reporting tends to be overly optimistic....

(1)Six small tomatoes,
four summer squash, one pumpkin -
       one deer saunters by(2).

(1) inside the [community garden] fence
(2) outside the fence!

Last night's red sunset

promise holds true this morning -

        a beautiful day.

Old family bible,

worn pages, torn cover, but -

         Duck tape makes it new!

 

It was/is my dad's old leather-bound RSV, probably 70+ years old. And it's not like the pages were all coming out or messed up - just the front cover had come off. Still, I had to take a moment of remembrance before I slapped a piece of silver tape on it!

Walk around the lake, (1)
rest time, stir-fry for supper -
      kayak(2)? Nope, tired! (3)

(1) 3 1/2 hours
(2) swimming, boating, walking....
(3) we'll see - maybe after supper.

I know, really lame - hey, it's Labor Day. I'll try to get back in better form tomorrow.

 God, I'm confused.
Jesus said if 2 of us agree
it would happen - but it hasn't.
Either Jesus mis-spoke,
or Matthew mis-heard,
or I mis-understood.
Thinking about it all,
I am sure there have been many things I have said
that haven't been clear
or haven't been really meant.
Let this month/week/day be the beginning of months/weeks/days between us
as we try afresh to speak and hear and understand.
