Missin' Ya, Blogger!

Poor old Blogger.....since MySpace came into my life I have neglected you...Shame on me! Well, I am here, attempting to make it up to you..all my readers have probably given up on me and don't even stop in anymore....but I am here, just the same..and as always...I will find something to say whether it makes sense or not! All is quiet on the home front tonight...my faithful friend, Josie, has even deserted me and retreated to her bed. The various insects are singing outside..and that is the sound of fall! The last day of summer is past and we can only look forward to the change of seasons....the best one of all ...autumn...I have always thought that it is the season of good-byes...and a beginning of a death of sorts. I don't mean this in a morbid sense...just that the trees turn and the leaves fall..but before they go into their winter slumber....they make a magnificent display of color....the air changes even...and with all the signs becoming apparent...they seem to be the perfect blend to reveal nature's predictability along with its mysteries. I saw a locust the other day...must be the year of the locusts...as they come out every seven years in huge numbers and when they all get to singing....it is quite an orchestra!...They all die off and leave their shells sticking to trees and just about everything...my country upbringing recalls the whole side of our house being covered with them one year! The other day on the way home from church..I saw a black caterpillar inching across the blacktop...does that mean we are going to have a harsh winter? An old wives' tale come to mind.

When you can hear all the clocks ticking in the house and tell which one it is...now that is silence...a bit too much silence for me...I am beginning to wonder if this was a good idea to come over here to blogger tonight...could it be that I am just rambling here..with no where to go and no message to the reader?......How refreshing...I may just have to ramble again soon..............
