Neil Diamond September morn

Welcome... September.


Beautiful September Morn...
in
Iowa.

Heading off to The Racing Living Estate Sale, in a bit.
{Barring all Tragedies, Low Flying Planes, 
and
 Barreling Crazy Trains!!}
; )

Sad to see Summer... slip away,
 but...
Truly Enjoy This Time of Year!!
<3

Morning's are a little crisper.
Night's are getting a bit...
cooler.

The Old Oak... is dropping acorns, like Crazy.
They sound amazing, when they tap the tin roof.
It's like they're inviting, reminding... 
teasing....
us to come
 Outside, 
and 
Play.
<3

No time to 'Play' this...
September Morn,
but...
enjoyed a little coffee, under his
 Big...
Beautiful
 Branches.
: )

Hope You...
Enjoy This First Day
 of
September.

Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

Barb C.
