When the road ahead looks long and uncertain, taking the first step will always be an opportunity to new discoveries, even though you have walked that path before, each day is a new experience, and a new beginning.

Today a gentle rain fell and bathed the world around me
Simple joys wrap themselves around me as I walk unseen
down the wet and slippery boards
I hear the rain drops as they splash and create a ripple in the water
a bird calls out from on high, and I wonder at the reflection mirrored along the shoreline
how peaceful it is when we allow the symphony of everyday sounds
to lull our over active brains – and the vibrant colours of the leaves are given an effervescent sheen
by the tear drops of little water crystals that are dancing across their thirsty leaves.
For an instance the sky clears… I see the reflection of the spiked leaves shadowed around the water plants that are smiling back up at me
Look at this beauty around me, I am alive and well… how can I not be… there is so much in this world to discover and see. The larch is starting to turn a golden yellow, soon this whole vista will be a different palette of colour. I hope you will come back and visit with me.
Oh could be a bit nippy out there, frost advisory over the next few days.. at 5:49 a.m it is 55 Degrees F, that’s not bad… It will be a good outing this morning.
Think “now is the Time” Instead of “It’s no use now” Don’t give up by thinking its too late. Tell yourself that there is more that can be done.

Don’t let circumstances sway your decision. It does not help to overthink things. Sometimes we just need to make up our minds and move forward.

Pillow Poem.. I had not heard that expression before. Another blogger used it as a heading for one of her poems she posted. It rather struck me as being rather appropriate for some of the musings and thoughts I have had over the years. We learn something new everyday, anyone else ever heard or used this saying?
Lately I have been having lots of talks, thoughts and dreams on my non existent pillow ( I detest them, can’t seem to find them comfortable in any way shape they come in….) I gave up years ago, I use a towel rolled up under my neck. omg am I hearing cranky in my tone… it is far too early … time to get out and into the woods.
Have a good day everyone. If you are lucky enough to live where the fall weather is colouring the leaves and the landscapes are brilliant with colour… enjoy!!
The blue jay was not going to be intimidated.. you can see his blue behind the wild turkeys who once they discovered that there was “food’ on the ground, were not keen on moving off or away. They ran off at first, but one plucky one turned back to see just what was being offered. Once he discovered this was a mega of food, he applied himself to the task of eating all he could before the others realized why he was not following them.
It was very interesting to see how when the others saw he was not coming, he was busy eating .. there was no hesitation on most of their parts… to join him. Some did go off, not all were prepared to back track. Mind you they stayed in sight… just deemed not to return to the feeding area. I took myself off to walk the boardwalk, it was cool, but bright… I hoped to get a few fall colours in.

The best timing is when you notice. When you notice something it is God sending you a message. Act right away so you don’t miss good timing.

ps. wasp sting symptoms, still happening after 6 days.
The fall colours are just getting going, they are spectacular so far.. Being in Canada with its 4 seasons is a blessings and wonder!!
Take action without thinking too hard. No matter how hard you try to foresee the future, you really don’t know how things will turn out. Do your best and see how it plays out.
Stretched out on a sunny bench enjoying a sunny day, clear blue skies, being totally lazy and enjoying the afternoon sun after the cooler morning weather.. was on the pier surrounded on all sides by water except for the small walkway that led from the shore to this cement pier out from the boat launch. I was happily minded my own business when I heard a buzzing near my left ear…. I reached up to brush it away from my hair/ear when this stabbing pain shot through my arm. Instant , and I mean instant searing pain. I shot up into a sitting position, but couldn’t see a thing. it was a hit and run…
If you have experienced a wasp/bee sting yourself, I need not go into detail, if you haven’t.. don’t go looking for it… Fortunately Bonnie had finished her walk and had arrived back to where I was.. we went to a drugstore right away to get something to deal with the pain, It was not something to ignore.. I looked for a stinger but didn’t see one… just a finger that was swelling and getting red. “after Bite” is the product they sold me at the pharmacy. When I got home I immediately took two Bendery allergy pills.
Having google has its benefits.. It was interesting that yes the area got all red but you could see a white dot where I had been stung… just like it was explained when I did the google search. One learns something new .. all the time.
I was told in the pharmacy that there were a lot of wasps in the area, it seems this is the season for them, the yellow jacket. was known for being plain vicious biting, just because.
Today’s PL calendar quote..
Let’s have a humble mind. Once you think, “That’s good enough,” you become blind to the opportunities to be more creative.

wasp sting.. wash affected area with warm water and soap, this removes any poison/venom that could be left on the skin, use an antibiotic with properties to help with the sting and the itching, if you have allergy pills take one/two….the pain and stinging sensation lasts for a couple hours to 4 or 5. The internet is full of info on how to deal with a sting.. if you suffer from severe reactions see a doctor right away. Especially if you have problems with your breathing. The symptoms could hang around for a couple of days… yeah.. on the positive, I learned something new.. it has been years since I’ve had to endure a sting…
