To those in tune with Nature's rhythms and cycles, the seasonal appearance of certain wildflowers is as reliable as a calendar and a lot more colorful. Last week, for instance, while riding the bike trail, I saw my first Goldenrod of the season. This weekend, I noticed that the Big Bluestem has formed its famous turkey foot heads and is getting ready to strut its stuff for fall.
Where has my summer gone? I have had so much fun this summer with my bike riding,
birding, photography and astronomy that I have lost track of time. My
binoculars,
telescope and
camera have all gotten quite a workout, not to mention my bicycle and, of course, me. My prayer of thanks to Earth Mother for all her wonderful treasures and her gift of life. I am truly blessed.
