The Glory of Summer in October!!

Oh What a Glorious Day!!!

I woke up in pain today,
I’m out of my Flonase,
And I think I’m allergic to
Everything on this place!

Except the sunshine on the trees
The breeze that sweeps the grass
The sparkle on the water’s face
And on the window glass

Nor all the birds that swim or sing
Not even the bold gulls
And maybe not the drowsy sun
That soothes the heart and lulls

This is a perfect autumn day
A summer memory
And I intend to treasure it
Not sit in misery

So out the door, into the day,
With camera in tow
I don’t recall the morning’s pain
And life calls me to go!!!

Night Training

Too late tonight to frame a thought
To speak the silent word
The birds have settled in the trees
And not a song is heard
The moon is bright, the air is cold
A perfect night to train…
The distant boom of cannon fire
Rattles my window pane.

And you may call them what you wish,
You've said some awful things,
But to my mind they’ll always be
Angels with camo wings!

Autumn Murmurs

Just a passing word of praise
For the crisp, cool autumn days,
For the ripened apple sprays,
For the misty, morning haze,
For the festive cornstalk maze,
For the evening’s frosty glaze,
For the cheery fire’s blaze,
For the harvest holidays;
For all of autumn let me raise
Just a passing word of praise

A Day without Trees is a Day... in Someone Else's Life!

Tangled roots and tangled dreams
Tangled light and shade
Nothing's ever what it seems
Where the Dryad's strayed

Tangled roots and tangled dreams
Leaf clogged forest springs
Nothing's ever what it seems
Where the Dryad sings

A Tale of Adventure

Once upon a time there were two beautiful princesses and a galant knight! They set out on a bold adventure at the Ren Fest.... Prepared for anything!!!

Like fearsome Ogres, held at bay by a trusty blade!!!

Or Pirates that made them walk the plank!!!

Or even beautiful faeries that sprinkled them with magic dust and gave them powerful Dragon's tears to protect them from the other wicked creatures that roamed the Fest!!

Of course there was always a handy servant around to help with little things like a good seat for the joust....

But at the end of the day, it was up to our intrepid band to take care of each other.... and that did! All the way home!!!
