The Quiet One

September is knocking

It’s August 28 and I’m tired of seeing the word of August. I want truly write September in the diary with my dip pen.

I want add to few more poems about the leaves all turning to color. 

When I take my walks, I want to feel the crisp autumn wind as stirs up the fallen leaves at my feet.

Tired of all my summer clothes and can’t wait until I drag out my fall stuff. I not really fond of wearing bright colors.

Tired of hearing of those insects outside my windows. 

All the green is tiresome. It seems more like a wall containing to this world. I do miss hearing the bare branches clattering against each other.

This Sunday is my last working Sunday, I’m really looking forward to sleeping late and working on the poetry in the afternoon. I wonder how many poems will get done during that months. I’m hoping for at 15 pages worths.

It’s only three days away and already it’s brings a shy smile to this face.

 

 

 

 

Leaf and Fern.

Ah that's done.

Well that evil deed is done. I finally made the the appointment for the oral surgeon for Sept 13.  That one is only to talk about what;s going be done but still a tough call to make. Now there's no chickening out. Part of me is not looking forward to this and the other is. It took me a week of trying to  make this call, part of it is my fault and the part is mt life not cooperating. Well at least it's done and now some the weight is off my shoulder. So can I go back to living my life ? Thank You!

Finally got my Sept work schedule, very happy about it. Starting Sept 4!, no longer working Sundays!!!!!!!!!!! Yea!!!!! I decide that on Sundays' afternoon I'll be spending it working on poems. No internet, no photography(Ok I'll watch my football game with the sound off) Just simple work on my poetry. Have a couple notebooks filled with rough drafts of poems. Then last week, brought three new ones to fill up. I'm pretty much back to writing 2-3 poems a week. So I really need these Sunday afternoons for the revising part of it.

When I think about it, I do most of my writing during the fall and winter months. There something about those times that bring out the better writing. Another thing that helps i sthe night are getting longer. I seem to settle down more when it's dark.

It also seems that Fall is somewhat in a rush to get here. Some the trees around here are starting turn. There's one tree that seem turn yellow overnight. Then I have the maple across the street. That doesn't start turning untill mid Sept. Maybe it's not Fall that's in hurry, maybe it's winter instead.

Yikes, not ready for that!

New poems for the weekend

Since Sharon has been busily posting poiems at her site. I thought I better get my act together and post my news ones too.

Enjoy!

Three little clouds don’t make a thunderstorm.
As the spring sunset, can’t call happiness in.
Only me, can call forth the simplest happiness.

Who’s not a black widow spider
spinning a web between branches to catch it.
Offer the hand to the sun, never sure
if the ray is held but will say yes for peace.

And it will be call contentment instead,
Settling down with dust in this room

****

The collections of morning clouds
makes the sun the perfect circle,
Instead of the usual motion of light.
and the leaves simple die in that.

They are done with the life connection
to their trees. But for the humans, still live for us.

All the summer rustling carried all the sound
we had spoken and the need to reach to upward.
Was heard, so the color will be our strength.

Ah color!!!

Found this on my evening walk, a whole branch was turning to their fall colors. Hmm I don't remember seeing this on Sunday. Neverless I got a few great pictures.  There was another tree with yellow leaves that caught my eye. So I stop and snap a few more pictures. Well when I zoom in,  I found this amusing picture in my viewfinder.

I don't think the next tree is looking forward to fall this year. It's funny, last week the leaves still had their fresh green look and now they all them pretty much went dull. Was waiting outside down in the town while Dad had his haircut.  Sat under this tree which was starting to drop it's leaves, I wish I brought my camera. There were some great photo ops with leaves and the brick walkway.

Needed to got to Staples and they had a Nikon D40x there. Oh it was so tempted to buy it.  Next year maybe, I'll buy a DSLR. By then Canon would have the next verison of the Digital Rebel. I rather not get a Nikon, Canon has more lense to choose from.

Couple photos+ Photoshop =

This

Ah the paint can is slowing being open-

Saw these wonderful leaves on Sun. Yes fall is coming now with cooler tempertures. Right now, it's himid and hot and it's also cloudy too! Might get some T-storms tonight. Actually I would just prefer just rain. Now it's getting little dry here and this house has well water.

No work today and I'm glad too. Tuesday is the summer reading programs at my branch. I'll be glad when it's all over. Yes it's fun for the kids but it's extra work for me. Most the time I'm the only working the desk, plus do all the shelving. Oh course Weds are busy too, at least I got a page. Who will shelve the children room instead of leaving it for me and my coworker for Thursday.

With kids programs programs wrapping up. I now have to call the oral surgeon for an appointment, Have to go through with getting the top plate put in. Just tired of dealing with the bad teeth there. Maybe I'll call them on Thursday.

Oh I wish it would rain but it's looks like it will be missing us for the afternoon.

Yea!! no T-storm today

Well, got to deal with three T-storms yesterday and was planning to post something too. So I spent the afternoon watching lighting, listening to thunder and finally,writing in the diary. At one point, the lighting got little too wild and quickly move to the other side of the room for a bit. Then there was break, went out to dinner with the parents. Chinese food, the best place is in the next county over. By the time we got out, there was little light show in the distance. On the way home, I thought Dad was going to get a ticket for speeding. Beat the storm home but no nternet access until the last two had pass. By then, I was getting tired and getting late. Heck with it ! Also a little behind in blog reading too. Came home Thursday from work a little wound up over a few things.

It’s been hot last couple days but it’s August. If it was December, you would be complaining about the cold. Today wasn’t too bad, was able to take a walk after supper.  Saw some kind of hawk sitting on the wires. Could only get two pictures of it. Not sure if they come out.  I’ll look at them later.
