Flourishing. Indian Summer. The goose waiting to migrate. Cheers to growing wings.<br /><br />I highlighted the quote above as lately I've watched the Big Dipper sinking early in the night. The scorpion also, falling under the horizon. Anticipating Orion's appearance for the winter. Beautiful piece.Midlife Roadtripperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700277803842883251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-44591950409700530732010-10-06T12:50:58.852-07:002010-10-06T12:50:58.852-07:00I love that definition, and how you've tied it...I love that definition, and how you've tied it to your life!

Finally checked it out yesterday and found that "Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" was written by a 70-year-old first time novelist. And it was sold as the first in a series.<br /><br />Yours is an Indian summer life, indeed.Jerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063270175679985513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-86642180459809521692010-10-05T06:15:39.375-07:002010-10-05T06:15:39.375-07:00Every word you said is exactly how I feel...except...Every word you said is exactly how I feel...except the Idaho part of course.
