Autumn’s Arrival
No!
It simply cannot be closing in on Halloween again.
For Heaven’s Sake, it was just summer!
Still, there have been unmistakable signs.
How about falling leaves and a little nip in the air?
Or whole aisles of Halloween Candy at the supermarket?
Yes – Something is amiss.
Virginia’s had an unusually cool summer –
cooler than California I wager.
Oh, I do love Autumn in Virginia!
But is it really time to post Pumpkin Pictures
or my yearly Witch Warnings?
The Perils of Texting and Driving
Walter and Me

This looks like Walter but the image is from en.wikipedia.org
I wasn’t ready to believe it but the sun came out yesterday – all day.
And I found myself reclining on a deck chair with bared arms and legs in way of confirmation.
They say twenty minutes of exposed skin to sunshine helps your body create its own Vitamin D. Ahhh – warmth that seeps into your bones and Vitamin D too!
Yes, it’s here!
It is truly summer!
It must be summer because the sun is shining.
Even our resident groundhog (who I secretly call Walter) came out of his underground den.
I could not get a closeup shot but I saw him all stretched out on the warm concrete pool deck.
At first I thought Walter was dead and was making plans for a decent burial.
Can you see Walter?
Then Walter stretched! It was one of those big luxurious catlike stretches. Walter was lying flat on his back and his little legs came straight out and he looked soooo happy.
Then there are the summer shadows and shady places that take me back to childhood somersaults and playing in the grass. Those were the days when Mom urged us to get out of the house (unsupervised) and “Don’t come back until I call you for dinner!”
Childhood Memories Under the Maple Tree
I’m too creaky for backbends and cartwheels, roller skating and climbing trees.
But it’s summertime in Virginia now.
I think I will join Walter in another big sunny stretch.

in favor of Fall’s great performers
en route with a harvest moon.
Look for the Silver Lining

Our days here in Virginia have lately been filled with drizzling rain, dipping temps and cloudy skies. I wonder why the darkening clouds are still amazing or why a changing sky captures the imagination. It is surely unlikely there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, but today I looked for and found a silver lining!
“Look for the Silver Lining” is a popular song with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by B.G. DeSylva. It was written in 1919 for the unsuccessful musical Zip, Goes a Million. In 1920 it was published and reused in the musical, Sally, whence it was popularized by Marilyn Miller. Among others, the song was later covered several times by Judy Garland, whose version also became, and remains, well-known. From Wikipedia.com .
