Sunshine on shoulders,
breeze in the trees, dozing off -
        lazy autumn day!

Blue sky, white clouds, leaves
of many flame-tinged colors -
       third day of fall - no?

And 70+ degrees. What's not to like?

Peeking through light clouds
for Packers Home Opener -
      Full moon at Lambeau.

Carrots, garlic, leeks,
potatoes, parsley, spinach(1) -
       our CSA box.

(1) and still more - lettuce, tomatoes

Yeah - not too profound but good stuff to eat! 

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.
