Without Regrets...

How beautifully leaves grow old. 

From green to red to shades of gold. 

Full and vibrant in summer sun

'Til the fall winds come and they are done. 

How beautifully leaves grow old. 

As summer heat turns to autumn cold.
No whining complaint is ever heard
No sorrow or regret, no bitter word.

How beautifully leaves grow old. 

To subtle hues no longer bold. 

For all a lesson to be learned, 

When our time comes, be not concerned. 

Another Saturday Centus from our beloved Mrs. Jenny...the prompt this week in red above, as always, plus 100 words. The poem was inspired by the words of Dieter F. Uchtdorf in his Saturday morning talk at the semi-annual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in which he spoke of how we can better live life without regrets.

Be sure to stop by and see what the other Centusians did with this week's prompt by clicking HERE...and then...get off-line, go spend some time with family and loved ones running and playing in the fall leaves or doing whatever brings you joy.

Too Much Noise

47%...blah blah blah.

1%...blah blah blah.

99%...blah blah blah.

8.3%...blah blah blah.

4 more years….blah blah blah.

No more years…blah blah blah.

$16 trillion…. blah blah blah.

48 vs 50…blah blah blah.

October 3 …blah blah blah.

November 6…blah blah blah. 

Oh my, look at the fall colors. Aren’t they beautiful?  

The constant blah blah blah of politics is making my head spin and I'm starting to feel like a deer in the headlights.

I think I’ll go outside and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Time for another Saturday Centus from our fabulous Mrs. Jenny. This week's prompt is in red above...and now you know what's making me see red...both literally and figuratively speaking.

Be sure to drop by the other Centusians and see what they're blah blah blahing about too by clicking HERE.

Dandy, Just Dandy...

Anticipation

I picked up my step-daughter from the airport today. As you walk in on the second floor from short-term parking there's an area from which you can see arriving passengers as they leave the secured area and enter baggage claim. As I approached, I saw this man. Sitting, watching, waiting.

Blue Eyes, Crazy Skies, and a Tree

Blue eyes.

Crazy skies. 

And a tree.

Friday Randomness

I will take you from the beautiful...

...to the absurd...if you let me! A girl's gotta have a little fun after all, no?

And a dog's gotta watch a little TV (Animal Planet, most likely...)...

...when he's not up to his eyeballs in snow.

Not Quite Wednesday...

But wordless, nonetheless...

When you've got nothing to say, best to say nothing. 

Things I Like About This Place...

A tree lined lane.

Wide open spaces.

Signs of a stranger passing by.

Crazy icicles against a bright blue sky.

And if that's not enough ... I like the view at sunset from our front door.

It's All in the Eye...

It's funny how forgiving the eye is in some cases and not in others when an image is out of focus...

Every one of these images has some aspect of it that is out of focus and yet some are easier for the eye to work with and overcome, while others remain "troublesome".

Just another random thought.
