The End of Summer

“The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the farm country slowly changes from the summer cottons into its winter wools.”
― Henry Beston

Leaves, lives, loves changing

Dark days, darker nights await

Autumns light prevails

Summer Thunder

“After a storm comes a calm.”

-Matthew Henry

 

Last night we had some pretty severe storms pass through our area and I thought of this:

 

Summer storms the norm

flashing streaks awaken me

Peace!

 

Haiku-A Summer Rain

I could see the black rain clouds approaching from the northwest and I just sat and waited. Although people tend not to like rain, during the summer I always welcome it. Today, when the rain began, it was a sweltering 94 degrees. As it pushed through, the temperature dropped to a bearable and breathable 74 degrees. It goes without saying that we can always use the rain.

Creeping up slowly

Menacing dark clouds pour down

Welcome liquid life
