God of justice and righteousness,
God of mercy and grace -
I am more than happy for
justice to roll down like waters
and righteousness like an ever flowing stream
on some of those others I could name.
For myself I am grateful for your
mercy and loving kindness.
Somehow I don't think this is an adequate or appropriate place to remain.
Help me find a better way to be.

Sky(1) blue, leaf yellow,

pumpkin o-range, Hubbard green -

         colors of my world! 

(1) or "Lake"! 

Temps for the weekend:
High forties to low fifties -
       winter on it's way?

Grey clouds, gusty winds,
waves splashing over the road -
        two ducks on the pond.

Cloudy, thirty-four,
wind gusts twenty to thirty,
      rain - and snow!   Say what?!

 Green leaves turning red

 fall to cover the front lawn -

        autumn's new carpet.

                  or

        new autumn carpet. 

 

Not sure which I like best. 

Pink tinge this morning
suggests some small rain today -
      but no major storm.

5:00 - seems to be holding true.

 

Bonus haiku -

Long day of flying
home from two weeks east coast cruise -
       doing homey things(1).

(1) making our own meals, cleaning up after ourselves, sleeping in [and making up] our own bed, and so on....
