As we drove to school I had made a comment about fall coming. I noted that one of the trees we had seen during the drive was losing its leaves. Gabi commented that the name fall came from the leaves falling from threes, thus the season is named fall. I assume the name spring is due to the leaves springing forth from the tree limbs. The name summer came from the sun. A person was commenting on the sun, and saying that it is sunnier than usual. The word sunnier was blurred into summer. How did the word winter originate? Someone noted that the nice weather of fall had went away, where had the nice weather gone? The cold air is not a winner, which was later changed to winter. That is all true, google it if you don’t believe me.
The other day as I set in the Ford’s Chevy on our ole drive way waiting on my present wife, I observed a couple buzzards circling around. Now before you comment that seeing buzzards circling overhead is nothing unusual, and they were probably smelling me, a stinky old senior, please allow me to continue with my comment. These buzzards were circling about 10 feet above the house which is three houses down the street from ours, weaving in and out of the trees. There must have been something dead around that house, to have brought those birds down that close. I can’t say if they landed, and enjoyed a free meal, or if they flew away, but I no longer saw them circling.
I was mowing the back yard yesterday and as I drove past an old rose bush, I saw a new bud. It is very small, maybe ¾ inch across. Then I also saw another flower that was blooming. Click to enjoy.
As the nice weather begins to end, there are still a few pretty things to look at!
I did vote early. I voted for some candidates, but mostly I voted against candidates. There are candidates that I voted for, but I would have voted for someone else, if there were an additional choice. In other words, there are politicians that need to go away and allow non-politicians to get into office. Do I believe in term limits, YES! I also believe the politicians should not get better benefits than you or I!
Now for, “the bad news”. Yes, I saved, “the bad news” for the last comment. A few of you may already know this, but I am sure some of you do not, so allow me to be the presenter of, “THE BAD NEWS”! This weekend there is a time change coming. You should move the clocks back one hour. For that one person who is not informed, you do not need to do anything to your smart phones and computers, they will change automatically.
Look around and enjoy nature!
