Rods of Gold


 

Segue into autumn --

Brilliant gold graces ditches,
Fuzzy golden blossoms gently sweep their space with each breeze

Combines humming harvest homily,
Grain trucks rumble out to collect crop, raising dust on dirt roads
Corn picking, husking, canning -- munching kernel upon juicy kernel.
 
Red-tinged maple samaras, waiting to take wing
Monarch caterpillars munch through dozens of milkweed leaves,
Chewing, growing, shedding, chewing, growing, shedding…
Preparing for tremendous transformation

Back-to-school, pondering, planning and prepping

Goldenrod time!
