today’s glimmers…
a sense of summer
I know the scent and sounds of dawn
its first light’s symphony of song
the earthy scent of dew drenched loam
the sunlit sparkling fields of home
I know the feel of days at noon
sun high and hot in skies of blue
where shadows cast by towering trees
shade earth while dancing in the breeze
I love the subtle shifts at dusk
the rising mist that smells of musk
horizons edge afire en rouge
the setting sun sinks from our view
to sleep, to dream another night
to read, to write by candlelight
under the twinkling moon and stars
connecting all, both near and far
my senses swoon in summertime
I’m feeling green and that’s just fine!

Our landscaper asked us if we wanted him to fill in that exposed area of red clay and dust on the hill in our back yard area. And then he backtracked and said…never mind…I know you guys. It’s true. How could we sod over an area that gives the local turkeys (and us as their witnesses) so much happiness! I felt so fortunate to catch this dust bath ritual on film!
When people ask us how we could move away from the city and the convenience of shopping close by, to the woods, with horrible WiFi, prone to power outages, sitting on a hill with a long, steep, scary driveway…this is why.
All this happens just feet away from my window. I am so happy here. And so happy too to share this little bit of joy with you.
Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!

We have a flock of wild turkeys here. They are often wandering through the yard & over by the orchard across the street. A hen has nested in the tree line along the back pasture where soy is grown behind our house. She willingly shares the soy with a woodchuck & the does & fawns that come into graze. Nice post. Thanks for posting.

Thank you! I am truly enjoying the neighborhood here! I too find that the deer, turkeys, birds and squirrels and an occasional rabbit share the feeding spots nicely. We could learn a lot from them! 😉
