A Beautiful October Afternoon

Sunshine brings a glad brightness to yellowing green foliage, punctuated by sumac hurrahs of red and rust. Noon and the early afternoon hours are blessedly still.  Street construction crews and equipment are silent. The dust they've created all summer long settles on window and wall, even a a fine sprinkle has filtered into the house, sifting onto shelves and into cupboards.  But cleaning is suspended until the neighborhood's summer-long street project is complete.  (When, O Lord, when will that be?)

Outside our picture window, a scattering of box elder bugs rejoices in undisturbed sunlight,  their aerial versions of pop wheelies and stately mazurkas vying to impress.  Who feels sad, depressed, forlorn?

Come and see.

This show is free.

  1. Hello Shirley Franklin. So good to know you through your profile on the blogger and the blog post. I am glad to get connected with you because of your interest in India. I am in the Pastoral ministry for last 37yrs I n the great city of Mumbai, India, a city with great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the broken hearted. We also encourage young and the adults from the west to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. We would love to have you come and spend time with us and encourage us with your presence and testimony. Also if you have young children you could also intimate them of this opportunity.
