Half daylight, half dark.

Our equinox wish for you -

       more joy, less sorrow! 

On a log out front

chipmunk sits, oblivious,

     munching a pine cone. 

 

He/she looked like one of us munching an ear of corn! 

Concerned for all great and small God -

we come to the end of the day,

and as I reflect on events of this day in the world,  

along with 120,000 of my friends and neighbors,

I am not sure I really know my right hand from my left.

For myself, I am glad that you are

gracious and merciful, slow to anger 

and abounding in steadfast love.

With regard to some others,

I sometimes wish that 

your great power and mighty acts 

would come upon them in ways that would lead to 

a more kind, just, and gentle life for us all. 

Call me Jonah.

Never the less, I go to sleep tonight with these words in my heart -

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. 

This day, and forever,  I bless you and praise your name. 

 Lots of stems, lots of
leaves, a few blossoms, but still
     no ripe tomatoes!

Gardening at camp.  A few green tomatoes. Poor soil, not much water.

Bonus -
Green leaves trimmed in red,
brief flashes of sunlight gold -
     fall decoration.

Two graham crackers,
marshmellow(1), chocolate square, fire(!) -
       makes one s'more - one more?

 

(1) one or two? 

Late afternoon sun
shines golden on the far shore -
     kayak? campfire? both?

 And yes, yesterday's should have said "McCarthy's" - don't always catch inaccurate auto-corrects! 

At McCarthy Cove,

light blue sky, late sun on rocks - 

       a smile in the sky.
