Diary of the journey on the path least traveled..just letting the heart do the talking while the fingers do the walking while being different, being me… 🙂
( “I do not do, say or write something to been seen or heard… I do, say or write something because it needed to be done, said or written…” , no nominations please, just sharing thoughts while exploring life 🙂 ).. 🙂
Hello Diary,
Been busy but thought I would stop by and share a few thoughts… yes, time is moving on and change is in the winds.. normal is in a state of change. yesterday is becoming a memory and tomorrow is still a mystery… my backyard friends and I have been busy preparing for the tomorrow’s and helping those who could use someone to be there for them… couldn’t be there in person but can help the folks in other ways, especially in Florida, etc.…. 🙂
While getting my affairs in order, ventured outdoors to help my backyard friends, worked on the ground feeder preparing for winter…. 🙂
Mr. Squirrel was so busy getting ready for winter he had to stop and rest for a bit… 🙂
While the spiders were preparing for hibernation, I almost walked into this spider web at the corner of the house (center of the picture near the top), it were about 4 feet square .. 🙂
At the moment taking a tea break…. 🙂 I set here with my tea And watch the leaves a fallin’ It’s becoming clear that one day Jack Frost will come a callin’ Most of my bird friends have went south In the southern warmth they’ll stay But I’ll not shed a tear in sorrow For they’ll be back again some day All us creatures that are staying behind To deal with the cold and snow Are getting our house in order And waiting for winter’s blow The squirrels are gathering leaves and such To insulate their winters nest The possum is checking every nook and cranny To find a place for his winters rest The bee’s are picking up the pace Gathering nectar with the morning sun Storing winter food for the hive Before their work on earth is done A spider spinning it’s web of silk I watched as it grew and grew Soon to become natures work of art With tomorrow’s early morning dew This poem could go on and on and on But alas, I have things to do For, like it or not, don’t you see I need to get ready for winter too. (Larry “Dutch” Woller)
And this is the last rose of summer, but love will go on… 🙂
Well, tea is done and life and the path is calling… but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise… 🙂 Hope your path in life is paved with love and happiness and until we meet again… 🙂 May the love that you give Always return to you, That family and friends are many And always remain true, May your mind only know peace No suffering or strife, May your heart only know love and happiness On your journey through life. (Larry “Dutch” Woller)
What a lovely entry! Thank you for sharing.

Happy preparations, Dutch! However well we may prepare for the changing seasons, we can never be certain of what Mother Nature has in store for us. While we face an ongoing drought and dwindling water supplies in California, our brothers and sisters hit by Hurricane Ian in Florida are facing devastation and loss. May they get all the help that they need to rebuild their lives.

I think that that is your best poem since I started following your blog posts. Everybody gets a line or two in it, with even a mention of Jack Frost. We have Jack here in England and when I was a child we all knew that he was the one who painted the icy patterns on the inside of our bedroom windows.

I walked into a spider web yesterday. Thankfully, I stopped and backed up before doing too much damage and the large banana spider was still on the web and not in my hair. Thank you, Larry for caring about your backyard friends and sharing your loving thoughts.
