Last day of summer. Time to rifle through the grapes, still ripening on the vines. Smokey is sure there must be some snacks up there. Lounging on the gate in the heat of the late afternoon. Spencer can't be bothered moving. Much too nice to bask in one of his favourite spots.
Last day of summer on the Pier. "Choose to have fun. Fun creates enjoyment. Enjoyment intites participation. Participation focuses attention.......
Attention expands awareness. Awareness promotes insight. Insight generates knowledge.......
Knowledge facilitates action. Action yields results." (O. Shallow)
Plus, it's still beautiful out. The ice will come, the rain will drench, the wind will blow.
But right now there is ice cream to be had, and moments to savour.
And chairs to be sat upon. Still. And new water buckets to drink out of.
The sun is setting a lot sooner. The colours are crisper, cleaner, brighter."The sky is the daily bread of the eyes." (Ralph Waldo Emerson) I agree.
"Let your boat of life be light, packed only with what you need........
a homely home and simple pleasures,one or two friends, a few cats.....
..........a family who loves to make shadow puppets,and it will be enough."
(Adapted from Jerome K. Jerome (1859-1927)
