Wonderful Day
As i was sitting outside under a tree on this warm beautiful day, a slight breeze was whispering against my face. The leaves coming from the trees every now and then, i did not brush them off as they occasionally fell on me. It was so quiet, so peaceful, as always my mind wonders off. The "I Wonders" came flooding in. Some of the trees loosing more leaves faster than others. Some had more yellow leaves along with the still vibrant green ones. Nature knows what it's doing, leaving me wondering. I look up between a gap in the tree to look at the sky, into infinity and the "I Wonders" there. As the breeze picks up a bit and the leaves swirl for a moment, i remember when i could open the double gate at the side of the yard and let the leaves blow into the next lot, never having to rake them. Now a house is there with a fence although not close neighbors, still not allowing me to be lazy with the raking of leaves. As my mind wonders, i am thinking already of spring, when i can add more plants and maybe a couple of new trees, its a good thing we cross fenced this property or it could turn into a Forrest that would be more than i could take care of. Just as i am nodding off feeling the warmth of this day going deep into my bones i resist the temptation and get up, brush off the leaves and "Say To My Self, What A Wonderful Day"
