A Picture a Day. September 2018

Although you would not be able to tell from the temperatures in the mid to upper 80's and 100% humidity or by the baby deer still visiting our back yard, it IS September and therefore fall'ish. 

I cannot believe, again, how fast this year's been flying by. This month's been about getting together with family, getting to walk around our town, for fun or for a purpose (like for our first Heart Walk in NC together), living through our first hurricane together, and one of us returning back West. 

The air is a little cooler but not much, the rain is plenty and the plants have gone plumb crazy, because I have azaleas blooming in my yard! The world is definitely astir. As usual: summer doesn't want to leave but winter is slowing showing its sprouts. 

The noise of the world still shouts louder than I would want to hear it most days, but the close world around us greets us every day with beauty and grace. 

For this month's picture, I picked this guy: he stopped by our yard earlier this month and he was flying kind of weirdly, kind of in a random pattern, like something was wrong with his wings or head. But he was friendly and unafraid, totally trusting when he landed on my husband's finger. Just like us, some days scared, some days hurt, but all days hopeful, I could see all of us in him.

Happy fall, all!
