8 November










in the late afternoon sunlight


the gate stands open

welcoming a weary traveller

and all who enter through the garden gate

know that they are in a special place

quite apart from the day to day world

there's something about a gate in the garden

that makes one believe in fairies

and magical lands


a gate in the garden is so much more than just a space in the fence

~~~

I am quite glad to have it be friday

friday is such a pleasant sort of day

~~~

I am very glad as well to be sharing random 5 Friday here today

~~~

We have had some wonderful walking weather so far this autumn

~~~
the time change really messed with me this past week

I've been sleeping on my feet by 6:45 at night

and in the morning I've done all my chores

by 6:30!

  8. I love gates...to a garden, to a yard, to a pasture. They just seem inviting somehow or other. This time is messing with me, too.

  13. What a lovely and peaceful little scene.
    I haven't had to many problems with the time change (waking up a little earlier but am slowly training myself back to the old time).
    We had some lovely fall weather earlier in the month. Now in the dreary, windy & raining portion.

  16. You had me when I read "fairies." Do you know that I LOVE FAIRIES? I have a few that I've collected and put them on a lit-up tree so I can see them every day. This gate picture is simply lovely. There IS something enchanting about a gate.

  18. This blue gate is fascinating. Gates always make me think of the possibilities if you walk through. As you write so beautifully, gates are so much more than a space in the fence.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
