Ah, Here Comes the Rain

Fall is here--and rain is on its way.  I am grateful for the rain, because it has halted the terrible wildfires in Oregon's Great Columbia Gorge. 

I am, however, not looking forward to the darkening days of winter.  I am already longing for the Spring. 

Have a lovely day--the good thing is Spring always does come. 

Scattered Jewels - Weekend Reflections

Thursday, my darling little niece and I walked to the park in the spare sunlight.  As we passed beneath a tree where the ground was thick with yellow leaves--we noticed some friendly faery had scattered handfuls of sparkling jewels along the ground.

They were just for us, we decided.  Though we tried to string them onto long blades of grass, to make a beautiful raindrop necklace....alas, we could not.

So we left the sparkling bits of faery dust glittering in the leaves.  And waved a fond farewell to the one who had sprinkled them in our path.
