my grandfather has passed along a little boat to us
these past few evenings
after my husband returns home from work
we've packed up
and headed to the lake
we've been in our home for some time {years}
yet never have taken advantage of this pretty little place
only minutes from our home
until this week
see i have been a little bummed
knowing the days of summer are ending
don't get me wrong
i welcome autumn with open arms
i love the changing of seasons
but as you know
how much of our time is spent outdoors
deeply rooted in the mountains
the mere thought of that time ending
saddens me
knowing a whole nother year
will have to pass for us to
savor our spot
yet being able to watch nature in a whole new light
brings a forth a sense of peace
once more i am realizing
accepting
change is upon us
change is good
touching our hands
in waters unknown
discovering treasures
that have lay waiting
so just as our birds migrate yonder
embracing the journey that lies ahead
this little boat
has given me hope
for what is to come
~our journeys will never end~

such gorgeous photographs and i so love the way you meander thru your thoughts ... lovely!
wonderful pictures... hope you have as many opportunities as you can to enjoy the out of doors before it gets too cold... blessings
I love your photo stories. You are blessed to live near beautiful water like that. Now that you've discovered it after all these years, don't wait until next summer to take it all in. Go back and visit in the Fall and Winter with hot chocolate and warm blankets. I'll bet it is every bit as beautiful during each season. Happy Monday!
Summer always seem to flutter past so quickly. It's been chilly here already for weeks. Keep taking that boat out my friend and make some wonderful memories to take you through to spring again.
Such a beautiful post...you always have such a poetic way! I sometimes feel sad when summer passes as well. But I SO look forward to fall and all the promise it brings. :) Hope you are well...Theresa
