SHADOWS ON THE WALL

my new friend and fellow blogger 

KEITH

posed the question of 

"your favorite summertime memory"

gosh I love you guys...you are such an inspiration to my 

little world

as I am obviously intoxicated on this "end of summer kind of day"

I ask Mr. PV..to fetch my camera

with the magic word of course!

PLEASE????

I have already missed the precious toad

that was resting here just moments ago

If I were a toad, ant or rolypoly,

this would be my chosen paradise

as the summer comes to an end

I can't help but be drawn in by the setting of the sun

earlier and earlier each day

and the shadows that linger here

*melancholy*

soon the umbrellas will be put away

tarragon you have served us well

adios

shadows on the wall

are you lavender ?

salvia?

or Texas Bluebonnets?

are you iron or copper?

are you Betty or Perrilyn?

whatever you are ....you will be back

yes...the mermaids will dive deep into the abyss

and we will patiently wait

for you and your brood to return

to our lovely branches

we will prepare

and hunker down

through the winter cold....

but....

wait.....

we aren't quite to the end just yet....

Hello Indian Summer
