today….

in the rain

under the hedge

autumn is busy whispering

Rural ride

Just rolling over the fields
Chewing the straw
With a bite in the air
Spitting rain

Prelude

Last night
The evening blush
Promised early morning sun

Yet over there at break
The bird still sits
Hidden in a mist

And on the chimney hush
Another barely wakes

While the long legged watchman
On the roof
Quietly stares

simple lines

Saw an early bird against a tiny patch of sky
~Picked red tomatoes ready washed in rain
Stacked garden chairs all wet and sun lit baked
Picked cut some figs and ate~
Then the cloudless sky at sunset late
Moon purple climbing high…….

sheep are pink clouds

you must go see what Laura’s boy said about sheep……..

The sun had been beaming gold shadows on everything just minutes before, but over the opposite fields the sky was turning pink. Then we noticed the new sheep, legless in the high grass. I thought of the little boys words…..so this post is specially for Laura and her grandson x (link)
