They're all mixed up...


By now I've gotten resigned to the fact that it really is fall
That summer really is over
And I'll have to wait 8 or 9 months before I can "Tiptoe Through the Tulips"
Its like jumping into a lake of icy glacier water
Takes your breath away
Until you get used to it.

But,
Because until yesterday we've had uncommonly warm weather
Summer weather,
(And I'm not complaining, but once you have resigned yourself to fall, it might as well come)
These little twin rosebuds got themselves all mixed up.
Their elders are nothing but bulbous rosehips by now
Some are still wearing their pink summer coats,
All wrinkled with age.

The optimism of these little twin rosebuds
Has kind of amazed me!

  2. You take some great photos! Honestly.

    Joyce, about the bears? I understand what you mean about the serious nature of the situation. I think that's why I posted it. It's crazy to think that some people only need do things like carry pepper spray or wear bells. The reason I did it was so that people would realize that we don't give things the proper respect the situation often deserves. Thanks for your comment because I'm sure it will help more understand. Have a great weekend!
