Another day under the Peach-tree’s

Another day under the Peach-tree’s
After having, a little rain late yesterday the temperature dropped making the earlier morning a great morning for having that earlier cup of coffee.
As I sat there enjoying the cool breeze and hearing some sounds of thunder in the far distance, the coffee sure tasted good, “almost went for a second cup”.

I  reposition my chair so that I could get a good look at the garden that the neighbors have been working hard on this summer, trying to keep it looking good and producing the items that they want……..   Oh, look there, a little Humming bird gathering its morning nectar, and over there near the old trashcan, two Cardinals were looking for some treats on the ground. Look like a male and a female working together… “Just the way that God had planned.”
Then a Blue jay swooped down to see what he could find, nothing as I could see. “He will get his later”… I can’t let this story end without mentioning the good sounds coming from the Morning Doves. There were a pair of them running on the roof of the neighbors house, looked like it might be a mating thing, one was all puffed up and the other was slim and trimmed. This is a start for a great day.

While sitting there and enjoying the sights and sounds of the early morning, the little woman came out with Chiquita the Chihuahua, she really loves running in the grass…. “So does Chiquita ha ha”.   The little woman went in after the little morning bugs started eating on her she can’t stand that.
The thunder is getting louder now; just maybe we will have more of the much-needed rain… Wasn’t long after the little woman went inside she came back out calling for me to come in for my breakfast was ready. Just then, I noticed the neighborhood squirrel coming down out of the Peach-tree and jumping on the wooden fence from the Peach-tree’s heading for the sunflowers that the neighbor has growing in the garden. Sure, wish that I had a larger camera because there were some good shots across the fence. Even a starling was near by. The limbs of the Peach-tree were framing him as he sat there on the fence.
I would have chosen to go walking this morning; however, that the 80/80 rule was in place, even as I said earlier the temperature was cooler. It with the humidity was at the 80 mark. I will go later today even if the temperature goes up the humidity will drop low enough for a good walk.
To bring you up to speed the little woman had chemo yesterday and her markers were still okay, there was suggesting that maybe she should try using the chemo pill… Do any of you know about this pill? Should she take pill or not? In her mind, she thinks that it would better to keep having the IV system.
Till we meet out under the old Peach-tree.

The end of Life

The end of Life
The end of life, it was a good one; I have lived it to the end. Yes, what a life it was, then the wind and the rain, oh how I loved the rain. Cooling to the touch, washing of the dust and such the there was the wind that blew me around to dry me off, oh how I enjoyed my life.
Eventually I knew that it would come to an end I thought that maybe, just maybe I could have enjoyed life a little longer. I now just hang here waiting on the next strong wind to come by and whisk me away. At least I am not lying the on the ground where people can walk all over me, as my friends and neighbors are, laying there turning a deep brown. Oh what a life I had, I cannot complain as I said laying there on the ground are my friends neighbors obvious they did not last as long.
One of the things that I will miss the most is that old squirrel that would come by and gather up his breakfast a peach or two. Then out nowhere came this old man who would just sit there for hours, I guess he enjoyed the wind too or should I say the breeze. What a life it was hanging here amongst all these friends and neighbors of mine oh well life comes and goes. I wonder how long that old man will hang around.
