Lesson 608: Seeds & Weeds

Good evening, Readers.

The calendar page tells me it's September,

but the cool air and heavy clouds 

foretell autumn's nearing return.

I plucked this dandelion gone to seed

at a Team Adrenaline workout on Thursday.

I suppose I should have been doing more sit ups.

I love dandelions

at any stage of their cycle.

But I like them best like this.

Apparently a lot of other people do, too.

Check out Pinterest--

the shirts

and artwork

and quotes 

go on forever.

I see this quote a lot.

I never see a weed though.

I see a seed and a wish,

not a weed and a wish.

So I made my own spin on it.

Eloised.

Granted--

weed and wish--

those words paired 

probably have a better flow to them.

But the word weed,

to describe the cheerful yellow flower

seems so harsh.

But, I still have to agree

with Eeyore

(yes, I checked, his name begins with two E's)

So, yes,

dear dandelion,

I see seeds and wishes in you.

I think my friend Maggie said it best

A seed is a wish that his planted.

How very true!

The fruits and blooms of the fall are nature's

last light and color display

before winter's dormancy.

The Huskies football has not disappointed 

for the early season games.

Sam and his Junior High strong men

also have had a nice beginning.

Still evident #77 is a teacher's kid:

Telling everybody what to do and where to go.

My house is very quiet as I sit here at my Friday night perch.

You can tell back to school fatigue runs deep.

With the house so quiet,

maybe that will leave me a few minutes

in the kitchen to clunk around with a few 

new recipes I pinned 

while surfing for dandelion quotes.

I'll be over tomorrow with some soup!

Answer the door if Eloise comes a knocking.

Have a great weekend!

Eloise
