Hot sandy winds blowing across the valley, no sitting by the pool this afternoon, the morning was great just a bit of a breeze, but no more. This will be a late afternoon movie time. The golfers are having a heck of a time and the patio table and chairs are moving about making awful dragging sounds. All of that and the sun is shining so very bright from inside it looks lovely.
Ashley and I went to visit her maternal Great-grandmother, she is 97 and complaining about not being able to golf, she says she would be going but the old man (her Husband) will not allow her to drive anymore.
We had a lovely visit she told about family history shared stories it was a nice time, then we went out and picked grapefruit I do not know what we will do with them all, while we were picking in the front "The Old Man" was picking in the backyard we have a lot of grapefruit.
OMG the sprinklers went on and we are in a storm of water it is flying everywhere.

Leaves of God Fall 2009
My seasons have flown by so fast
I can hardly remember the details of my budding
I bloomed far too early forced by natures call
The flower of my youth stolen
My spring lost
I could not hold my bloom
As fruit required all my time
That season of summer went so fast
Consumed by my fruit youth slipped away
Never to swing freely in the warm summers breeze
I held fast lest my fruit should fall
Hot summer days turn to chilly nights
My fruit now ripe hear falls call
They release to face their own unknown
I watch as they fall free
My branches lift from their weight
I stand-alone the crisp air begins to blow
Indian summer comes with new love
I bask in the crisp sun light
My beauty is seen and shared
With the bloom of crimson leaves
My golden years begin
Too soon, I see my skin begin to shrivel
Youths golden beauty slips into grey
My hold on the tree of life seems futile
The frost of winter comes so fast
I hold tight lest I fall
So many leaves are falling
I watch as they let go one by one
My winter is here my time has come
The cold ground awaits my fall
The snows of winter cover my memory
Yet the family tree still stands
Spring will come
New leaves will unfold
The seasons of life begins again
