NATURE VS. MAN
In woudrous ways doth nature work,
Fitting itself to climate,
Here in dry land,
Cacti is great.
And I saw a bit of snow,
Hiding way back in,
On such a warm and sunny day it did glow,
Saying water is not a sin.
Man does his thing,
To make things seem what they ain’t,
But his things don’t sing,
He leaves a straight taint.
Those rafters seem to bend the eye,
The roof only slants one way,
Architect is quite a guy,
And had his say.

Outside of the building extensive work was done, recently.
Things look different for sure.
YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW
Winter sends an omen,
Of rattling icy bones,
A mere gnomon,
Of coming more severe tones.
But today, an impessionist scene,
Ere the leaves all fall,
Brings joy to my heart, I mean,
I had a ball.
The glorious sun,
Doth play in the trees leaves,
‘Til I am to a turn done,
Glory this man perceives.
Then after a time,
A few months more of Boreas country,
And Spring’s wonderful clime,
Bursts into colorful rhyme.
For the nonce,
I sit, ponder and dream,
Of how I was once,
And hope to some day enjoy the cream,
Of again, ”growing up”
I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!
No I don’t even think they should have access even if the school nurse or principal approves it.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES
As it says in the old, old song,
Yesterday amid fall cleanup actions,
Heather did roses pick,
While I did the storage fractions.
Apparently last of the season,
A cold front without a hot back,
The main reason,
And with it the white flack.
This afternoon the sun is battling to emerge,
With little luck,
A bit of light doth surge,
Would that I could this weather duck.

As days of the winter pass, some will be shirtsleeve days,
And others a bit more grim.
Overall mild the winter be as usual, here
In our Eden.
WHITECAPS
Aspen gold hunting,
A bit before now,
Skiffs of snow bunting,
Higher mountains.
But, chain law in effect,
As snow falls up there,
No way to reject,
What is fair.
So, widespread the snow,
In our mountains,
And we know,
Summers water will be in fountains.

Heather and I got our flu shots this morning.
All set now for the winter.
SHAMRACKLE
Sometimes it seems that,
I can be compared to this old place,
Not that I’ve gone splat,
But lack couth and grace.
If it could get up and walk around,
Like mine every joint would groan,
But my body doth abound,
With life and I’m not alone,
One difference there,
It has a shiny metal roof,
Me ? Have hair ?
Ah, you spoof.

Don called from Duschene, Utah and he arrived
home in good shape.
Doug III is making progress and pretty well
pain free on his hip. Knees another story,
After recovery is complete and time elapsed
He will go in for knee replacement.
FOR NOW
A few short days,
Breaking bread and such,
Then we each go ourways,
Buoyed in spirit, oh much.
Visiting with relatives and friends,
Reliving old days,
Good things come to good ends,
And so we part.
Good bye, Godspeed, friend and brother,
Take care,
For we have no other.

Heather, their cousin Gwen and Don, yesterday.
Don got sick 4th of July which turned out to be a Strep infection in his lower brain.
Perhaps caused by a fall he had that became infected and passed in
his blood to his brain. He underwent surgery and heavy doses
of antibiotics after surgery was complete. His driver’s license was
taken from him after surgery. He just got that back three days ago
after undergoing all kinds of physical and mental therapy for months. He had to
learn to walk and talk and such things. He has done remarkably well, considering.
Feeling hale and hearty he drove over to see us and family from his home in Duschene, Utah.
We had a super visit, he called this evening and let us know he is spending
the night with friends in Green River, Wyoming and then going
on to his home. He spent several months with his daughter and
family over in Utah before he began moving around on his own.
The rascal is in better shape than I am.
SWEET DREAMS
Ooey Gooey,
I dreamt last night,
A giant banana split – whooey,
A banana to give one a fright.
Chocolate covered,
Six different ice creams on top,
And of course smothered,
With maraschino cherries and all that glop.
Served to me with a bib and shovel sized spoon,
My eyes bugged out to full bloom,
I almost did swoon,
Over that ooey gooey which filled the room.
