as down from a duckling

      Overnight- my world transformed
                       into a beautiful scene.
      
      Snowflakes- landed on everything
                          imaginable & the wind
                          frolicked, danced and swirled
                          the fluffy particles
                          into the air.
       
      I stepped- out into this snow-globe world
                       with a broom in hand.
                       My plans included;
                       starting my car 
                       and sweeping the
                       whimsical dust from its roof, etc.
    
      2 hours later- I drove down the historic
                           main street of my home city.
                           in awe of the everything
                           many people clearing sidewalks
                           others struggling thru thigh-deep
                           snow to open their businesses
                           & shops for the morning.


      I puffed- through the snow and watched it swirl
                    around my boots while I carried 
                    jugs of water to thirsty citizens.


      A smile- lit up my face as I greeted customers
                    this snow put me in a good mood
                    for some reason. even tho' it made
                    things like driving a car with summer
                    tires, quite abit more challenging.
                   
      Right now- I AM happy for this winter season
                        we shall see how long this happines 
                        lasts :)

xanthic glow

Leaves; they are tired of staying up in the tree.
leaves
float down..

-and the sky is beautiful
in the morning
it gLows a radiant color
it is easier for me to get out of bed when the sky
is brilliant orange

or bluish purple
or gold.

& in the evening-
Woah! that is a most
glorious sight as well..the
dust from the harvesting of fields
wisps around through the
air
&
is very willing to
CATCH
particles of light and
make them glow 

the water is slightly
too cold to
relax in
but
it becomes a reflective
mirror with floating leaves
of
crimson & gold
stuck to its surface.

Canadian geese honk and flap their powerful
wings as they fly south in their
famous alphabetical letter.
then take a rest in
a pond
field

Autumn!
you are my favorite season
you bring joy to my heart
and thrill to my soul
You.
I shall enjoy
'til the colder winds blow
and the snowflakes
fly
&
the roads turn to
(ice)

Then we shall hot things
like lattes and hot chocalate
to defrost..

WE shall discuss that
then~

octopus arms

  This book; (Arm in Arm by Remy Charlip)
is a favorite for me~  It is full of amazing pictures, crazy stories, and circular poems that never do end..
  
    Remy Charlip must be one clever man- the stuff in this book is so fantastic and wonderful in an abnormal way!


   My Auntie Linda gave me an old hard-cover copy of this book and that's the first time I had heard of it or seen it..
  I was instantly excited & purchased two more paperbacks online at Chapters. It's nice to be surrounded with great things and these books are definitely great! Click here to order 1 or 2 or even 3 for yourself..


Okay that's probably enough of me talking about this book because I wouldn't want to make it sound really exciting and you'd be disappointed--

crescent watcher of the earth

      In the wee hours of this morning as I drove home from the city of Calgary alone, I thought of many things. I also tried to keep my eyes busy and wide awake so as not to fall asleep, swerve into a fellow automobile driver, or hit any of God's animals that may be crossing the road at the time. The stars were gloriously glowing all the while and at 12:46 AM a pale light began to force its way thru the darkness on the horizon.. For a moment I wondered, "What can it be!?" then it came to me- it must be my silent glowing friend of the night.. 
                  I watched it slowly rise thru the silvery clouds and become
                             a crescent watcher of the Earth..
   I thanked God for that wonderful orb, floating around the earth's atmosphere! He makes all things bright and beautiful~ How excellent and glorious are His works throughout this land.
