The Seasons are a Changing
Yesterday was a strange weather day. It started out cool. Then the sun came out around noon and it got darn warm. Then a wind came up around 3:00. A COLD wind! And then a COLD rain.

Throughout most of the Spring and Summer we didn’t get any rain and now it’s like it won’t stop. Our pool is almost overflowing. But no weather fazes Java. It looks like she’s doing some sort of celebratory rumba. I wish I could be more like Java. I’ve been told by more than one person…
That crazed girl improvising her music. Her poetry, dancing upon the shore, Her soul in division from itself Climbing, falling She knew not where — “A Crazed Girl”, William Butler Yeats Soul in division from itself… I can relate. To return to sanity and wholeness I’m digging in dirt, listening to birdsong, and walking. Ahhhh,…
The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful. — E.E. Cummings, poet (1894-1962) Such crazy weather this summer — lots of rain, sticky hot, then shiveringly cool, knock-you-over winds that come out of nowhere, then sunshine, blue skies and peace.

Hi Mary…I photographed trees blowing in the wind too. A crazy day.
When will you close your pool? They are a lot of work when it gets to this time of the year. I am going to have to check out the blog you wrote about. No question…meeting people from around the world has been a great experience.
I’ll have to get some video of our winter wind storms. They *are* something!
We really need to skim our pond. It’s completely overgrown with moss. I keep threatening to put on waders and just slog my away across like SWAMP THING to pull it out.
Wow, those pine cones of yours are emence!
Yes, I love to cyber meet people too…it’s like the world get smaller.
