Morning Glories Climbing on an Old Rustic Fence Next To A Compost Pile

Morning Glories

Simpler Times
Blue Morning Glories cling to an old rustic fence
A visible throwback to the simpler times of life
I recalled seeing these beauties as school would start
in September after Labor Day, the last summer holiday

I still love gawking at these morning blossoms
They bloom early, and are closed until the next morning
The philosophy of viewing the Morning Glories must
be taken as the 'early bird' gets the worm.

We must be out and about real early! Many treasures are to
be seen and cherished.

Will Wars Ever End?

Will wars as we know them ever end? Will there EVER be complete peace on the face of the Earth? There is so much beauty here. The ravages of wars are so profound; on human lives, emotions,the landscape,etc.

Wars should be avoided at any and all costs. Man wasn't placed upon the earth to destroy each other. They are here to find common ground with each other. Embrace our differences and/or learn life-changing lessons from each other.

There never was to be little I's and BIG U's. In the sight of The Creator, we are 'all or none at all'. I'm very proud of all participants of the Peace-keepers of all wars. What unselfishness and sacrifice! These are truly special persons.

The Glorious Rose

The Beauty of a Rose

Admidst an oasis of grass and debris
The Rose is suddenly there
I stood in awe, but for a moment
My senses were made aware

The Rose, with its unmatched Beauty
Has a Presence all its own
It presides there in all its glory
Like a Queen upon Her Throne

And in all Her Grand Finale
The Rose fades suddenly away

My Pets

My dogs are special! Buddy, for example, thinks he can sing! Whenever I say " Bud, sing a song for me!' he throws his head back, and, when those sounds come out, well, anyway, I call it singing! Buddy puts all of himself into whatever he's doing at the time.

Buddy is about 80 pounds of pure love and devotion. He really and truly lives up to his name, "Buddy."

Things are going quite well today. My Hummingbirds are feeding right along. They are so argumentive! I never realized until this year, when I really took the time to observe them for hours at a time that Hummingbirds fight as much as they feed! Such combatitive creatures for the sheer size of them. So far, I've only noticed three varieties; amongst them being the Ruby-Throated.

Hubby and I clean and change their feeders at least three times a week. They add so much simple pleasure to our lives! I believe in a few weeks the Hummingbirds will migrate further south for the winter months. We'll miss them, of course. We still have our two dogs..................
