Over the past summer, after getting my CNA certification, but before the fall semester started with school for both my son and me, I was hoping to get a lot of activities done before the last leaf falls, and Bettie is wise for suggesting to get as much time in with our children when we can, because before we know it, we will be in our own autumn of life, and our children will be grown, with a busy family life of their own.

Of course summer went by all too fast. Time is always flowing, and it's easy to let it to let it get away from us.  It's odd, though, my son, at 13, still asks a lot of questions.  He still is very much curious like the cat.  Then, Stormy's cat Clarice quotes Einstein - "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its ownreason for existing."  Of course curiosity helps us learn.  So I think it is good that we spend time together, to be able to answer those questions in the quest to learn more about what ever it is that he is yearning to learn.

Shedding tree in the night

I lie awake, admiring the tree, mostly bare of leaves, still clinging to the life of the cool blue sky...  I often wonder if this whispering leaves in the eve is the sign, and it is a beautiful sight to see, not wanting to think too much in the future.  C.C., AKA Lori is always an art appreciator, and maybe more of us ought to culture ourselves and do the same.

St. Peter, an original guardian angel tries to ensure that we see the tender aspects of life, has Dahlia bringing lovely flowers to remember that even in the fading light of fall, there is always beauty around us.
