A Walk in the Park

My Best Man and my father...

 

Me, too, Google

 The blooms were ours to enjoy Sunday 

 at the local extension gardens

 after on-line church

 and here's a chuckle for you--

 at least it made ME chuckle...

 I was researching a bit for one of my 10-line poems.

I wanted to incorporate a quote I'd heard

but had forgotten who said it!

So, I googled it.

Voice google.

 Me:  "Who said, 'What you don't understand,

don't misunderstand'"?

To which google voice answered,
(I kid you not)

"Sorry.  I'm trying to get better at this kind of thing."

***

"Me, too, Google.  Me, too!"

Picnic in the Park

 Beautiful picnic lunch Sunday

 with social distancing, family, and a beautiful site--

 a local park featuring a rose garden...

...and did I mention "perfect weather"?

Of Flowers and Fear

 Iris are the flower du jour

around here!

 It's as though someone (Someone?) 

gave the order and voila!

 I'm not sure why or how their beauty exists in my thoughts

right along with a few thoughts about fear...

Suffice it to say, that my thinking on the subject of fear these days

can be summed up in this statement

that is subject to change, by the way...

Fear does NOT equal caution NOR  uncertainty.

I'm not trying to justify my emotions

or response to the current challenges--

simply to understand and clarify them.
Right now, I DO feel both caution and uncertainty.
Not necessarily fear.
Does that make sense?

Tiptoe through the Tulips

short-lived

and concentrated

in beauty

blooming for a season

then yielding place

to other

sturdier stock

till their time

comes again

as it will

Such a sweet time
in the sunshine with some
family at a local, city park
this week.

Unexpected

 The brilliant colors that greeted us last evening

at our local County Extension Garden

were UNEXPECTED!

 

 All shapes and sizes teamed

to make our autumnal stroll a pleasant one.

 It was an unexpectedly pleasurable way to relax at the end of the day.

While the vegetable garden was nearing its end,

there were still surprises to be found!

What a simple and satisfying way to spend our time together!
