Friday's Fences-Mar 22, 2012

~~Other "Friday's Fences" posts can be seen here~~

This fence and wildflower scene is from a different year and season here in north Florida...this was summer - not spring!

 I've always liked this pic so decided to share it today for my "Fence Post!"

 (click on pic to enlarge)

This ride in the country that day, (on our motorcycle) the beauty and wonder of  it all, gave me the inspiration for this poem.

Enjoy!

Roadside Meadow Flowers

Nothing fills me, so,
 with joy that’s most complete,
than roadside, meadow flowers...
 whose names I do not know…
(No pampered garden blossom
 could ever be so sweet)
Their name’s of no importance…
just their golden glow!

Their beauty overwhelms.
 So abundantly they’re sown.
Each golden face turned upward
to catch the warming rays.
There is no grander sight –
 these eyes have ever known.
So to the ‘Master Gardener,’
 I give my love and praise!

This autumn~~~in the autumn of our lives...

~

This autumn day and this mid October week finds Charles and me immersed in a long string of doctor appointments...which is becoming the norm for us; well, more so for C. than me!

(That's a darn good thing too,  since I am the one without the additional health insurance...just medicare coverage!) 

Yesterday, though, I did have a visit to give a blood sample at my doctor's office - for a followup visit next week... (a cholesterol problem)  Today my appointment was with an audio specialist...(nothing new or unusual here!)

Charles also had to go to another office yesterday for another sample of blood  at his heart doctor. (a problem with thinning his blood to prevent clots)  Friday he has yet another appointment with a different doctor for a different- though related- problem. Early November he has more surgery for skin cancer on his face.

( Curable with the cutting out)

 Charles and I both went for flu shots yesterday, also!
(so at least that's one less worry)

So many appointments on our calendar that I'm finding it hard to work in all the things I need to do- and  should do....like eye exams and dental exams...

This is most definitely 'The Autumn' of our lives, I'd say!

Does all that sound gloomy?
Sorry!!

  :)

Here's  some good cheer for fall!

 

October's Party

George Cooper

"October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came-
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band."

(Fall leaves from NC)

  Cheers!

~Wisteria~



( click on pics to enlarge )


Yesterday I spent some hours in my back yard, marveling at the wonder of this lovely spring! The flowers have been phenomenal this time-more beautiful than any year in my memory!

The Wisteria is to the point right now where it just takes my breath away when I look at it! You may think I'm kidding- but I'm not!

I am of the opinion that there is nothing more beautiful than Wisteria that has been allowed to grow as God intended...and that is free growing-where ever it chooses to go!

In the case of the Wisteria we have in our yard...Charles built an arbor connected to our swing patio. This is beneath limbs of a huge Live Oak.
This year the Wisteria vine has grown up into the highest branches of the tree. The blooms cover the roof of the patio now, also!

Alas! Spring is soon over and as I watch today I see the lavender petals falling and mixing with those of the Dogwood blossoms, nearby. Like raindrops they fall ~ but in the soft , sweet fragrance and colors of spring!

God, with his creation must have known when doing spring that too much of this kind of beauty would be a total overload for some folks ~ especially those like 'Junie Rose' ~ so in His infinite wisdom He limited the exposure time of this amazing season- and this perfect flower - the Wisteria!!









Love,

Beautiful Spring ~ April 5, 2010

Today was a glorious spring day here at our place in 'Ocali Country!'

I don't think we have ever had a more abundant spring, as for as the flowers go! Everything seems to be in competition to 'out -do' each other! The Azaleas are still at their peak and today I see the Wisteria is also blooming profusely!

I just HAD to get out and get some pictures again!

I love spring... and the fact that it is soon past makes it that more precious and desirable to me. I want to grab it - drink it all in - inhale the essence of it all!

The pictures are:

My son and daughter-in-law- posing by my Azaleas.

AND-
Charles and me with the Wisteria that grows along our fence.
(in front of our small house where my son and his wife live)
... and also Wisteria by our patio- growing up into the huge Live Oaks!

First day of Spring in Ocala!

This first day of spring has been perfect here in Ocala.
Yesterday was a grand day too.

In my post yesterday I showed you a bouquet of Azaleas,
reflected in a mirror!

These pictures (today's post) were also taken yesterday when Charles and I were cutting the flowers to bring in the house and arrange for display.

As I mentioned, this light pink Azalea usually blooms a few days ahead of the darker flowers of our other bushes!

The abundant, early spring blooming of the Azaleas in this area is one of the things that first attracted me to this place where we eventually built our home!

It will be our last home, I feel sure. I hope so for I can't imagine ever living any place other than here!

Springtime is beautiful!

Azaleas

Red Bud blossoms

Enjoy your spring!

A very nice day!

Today was a really pretty one here in my little corner... it was bright and sunny with the sky the bluest of blue with those white, puffy clouds I love to see.

Looked beautiful as I looked out the window - unfortunately, though, I was not able to spend much time outside as I had bills to pay; lots of paperwork to do! I find this job harder and less appealing these days than it ever was in the past! Oh well- you do what you gotta do!!

I did get out for a little while, in spite of my chores ...just couldn't resist!

You can see signs of early spring around here. This is the wild plum tree. I love these delicate , white blooms! This tree, and the Red-Bud trees, are the first blooms of spring-and they are very short lived!







The Robins too, do not linger long here. I didn't see any today while I was out...so maybe they have gone already! I hope not. I hope I can see them a little longer!

LOL- You can tell they do not like to get their picture taken!

( This was a couple days ago)

Finally, I'm thinking, the worst of our cold weather is over...

Window Views... and doors too!

This is a new meme~ at least it's a new one for me! Lol- No problem, because I have tons of pics in my files... pics for every occasion! :)

I took this shot of a window of our little rental house sometime earlier this year- when we were doing some painting and sprucing up of the place.

The scene outside is of a giant Live Oak tree, draped with Spanish Moss!

I like the angle and the blackness - contrasted with the outside view!

Looks kind of fitting for the season, I think; especially with the Spanish Moss!


This is a wonderful song by our beloved , Dan Fogelberg

Autumn!!!

It's the first day of autumn!

~~~

The header I have put up was taken in the early 70s.

I was visiting my sister, Joy, who lived in Altoona, Pa!

I loved to visit her in the fall and was able to do so a few times during the 12 years she and her family lived there!

WOW! The fall colors were spectacular up there!

:)

I thought it appropriate to 'Antique' this picture!
