Autumn days are here again!  

In autumn when the trees are brown

The little leaves come tumbling down

They do not make the slightest sound

But lie so quietly on the ground

Until the wind comes puffing by

And blows them off towards the sky.  

The winds will blow their own freshness into you,

and the storms their energy,

while cares will drop away from you

like the leaves of Autumn.  

                                              John Muir(1838-1914) 

這幾天早上醒來感受的日光，比較不曬人。莫拉克颱風侵台那星期的週一我家杜鵑花開了一朵，週三再一朵。

把這杜鵑花亂開的事，在聯合文學文藝營和文友分享，有詩人笑說：當是被夏日最後的玫瑰強暴了。 

今年龍眼上市兩週就不見蹤影，果販說今年龍眼產量少；這是夏天的最後影像。

今年的軟柿我已嚐過…總有三十粒以上….這才想起院地水池的睡蓮看起來沒甚麼勁已好多天…原來又是秋天了。
