Sunday

One of those quiet mornings when the overcast burns off, the sun appears.

Sitting outside early with coffee.

I find the most curious things that I could stalk for hours.

Summer is coming to an end, missing it already.

Seeds, pods, puffy whites of the dandelion.

The seeds are like atomic explosions. 

Always loved getting eye to eye to see them up close.

Back way then, and now too.

The soft gentle long ears of Mr. Rabbi Foo Foo that makes his entrance twice a day.

He is eating more now, due to the change of season.

Animals always tell us when to think of letting go of summer.

My grandson was with me last night, he saw his first skunk in this same location.

It was thrilling for the six year old who asked a lot of questions about the "stink" of a skunk.

I am done watching my two grandsons.

The past six days was an adventure for me.

From the eight year old getting stuck up in a big tree,

to his younger brother fearing the skunk would chase him.

The pay off for me is their smiling faces, warm hugs, and asking when I will return.
I only live five miles down the road from them!

We all know that when children get older they often times become too busy for grandparents.

I hope this is not going to be the case for me.

But if it is I will understand and treasure the times spent with them.
I am grateful for my grandsons.
