Evening dinner at Solana Beach Fish House. Hubby says they have the best “fish & chips,” me, I enjoy their grilled fish tacos. Yummy food, lovely evening.

Late afternoon walk on the land
finds us checking new growth on plants,
contemplating irragation schedules.
The orange globes dot the tree.
We know, soon they will be ready
for harvest.
Suddenly the air around is filled with
heavenly perfume. The little white
stars of the tree are releasing their fragrance.
Orange blossoms, with the promise of
next year’s fruit, fill the air with the
scent of sweet perfume.
We forget all else as this lofty
scent fills us up. A great promise of
hope and good things to come.
Such a welcome treat for us.
A reminder to savor the
natural gifts of each day.

Just a little diversion for your day. Enjoy.

Out back are these pristine white blooms
They rise toward the sky
Emitting their sweet fragrance
Into the air
Their message is simple
Christmas will soon be here
The stark white speaks of the perfect
Love of Christmas
Enjoy the beauty
Savor everything they stand for
Breathe in the sweet fragrance
Fully embrace the Christmas promises

Early in the morning, I looked out the kitchen window with only the tiniest hint of light in the early sky. But no, off to the right of this scene, the clouds hanging in the sky were like a stage curtain, scarcely able to contain the light from behind, which was bright white, toned down by the film of clouds hanging in-front of this light source.
One might have considered this a sunrise scene. But no. It was the moon moving behind a layer of clouds so close to the horizon. I ran for my camera, found it and returned. Alas, the clouds were moving in one direction and the moon in another. The moment had escaped me. Yet etched in my memory is the reminder of how God creates blessings each day for those of us willing to look for them.
The shot that I did snap was equally beautiful as rose tones were rising above the horizon and the morning light was lighting up the western skies. Another, but entirely different, beauty to behold.
Enjoy the day, wherever you are!
