today, continued warm temperatures

but tomorrow, southerly winds begin to blow

a little rain & cooler, crisper air soon to follow

so long summer; hello autumn loveliness!

break out the orange & black!

the goblins, the monsters, the witches —

the haunting season, with its creepy delights

its spooky memes, its shivers of fear —

just the very BEST season of the year!

the lake today was divine.

we trolled the perimeter,

nice & slow & easy —

piloting twisting curls

atop the water’s glass,

jumping & jostling across

our own wake.

to the detriment of all.

I’m so angry and outraged,

worried and frightened.

Seriously.

Is this really what you all wanted?

I am truly fearful. This country has turned into a dangerous, divisive, unstable republic. All thanks to one ‘man’ (hardly a role model for any young boy, or girl!) and the millions of misguided, hateful, misinformed voters who not just once, but twice, put this despicable, deceitful, self-serving moron into the office of the presidency.

And then there’s this….

sneezes bellow —

eyes itch;

nose does, too.

pollen levels

continue to irk.

ragweed not done
