fall back

We turned our clocks back on Sunday.
This time change always seems like a
symbolic end of playful sunny days.
A turn to cooler SPARKLES of the year…
A welcome extra hour of sleep.

A note to my Girls ~ I do believe, in my heart,

that there are always more HAPPY people

than unhappy people.

You just have to know where to look.

morning after the storm.

happy humpday

is it Fall? not at 103 degrees in the shade...

searing sun

could this be an Indian Summer?

that's fine...

it means...

~ 1 more incredible beach day

~ 1 more refreshing swim in the Family Pool

~ best evenings: nights spectacular for running

it's all good.

plus: we love happy late, late Summer blooms

Happy October!

Autumn Sky

Autumn full moon in the west morning sky…

The Cloud
by Percy Bysshe Shelley
I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers,
From the seas and the streams;
I bear light shade for the leaves when laid
In their noonday dreams.
From my wings are shaken the dews that waken
The sweet buds every one,
When rocked to rest on their mother’s breast,
As she dances about the sun.
I wield the flail of the lashing hail,
And whiten the green plains under;
And then again I dissolve it in rain;
And laugh as I pass in thunder.

~ morning rule #1 ~

look up to the universe,

& love at least 1 little minute of beauty to start your day.

Count your blessings.
