Headstall's Reflections - 34. Chapter 34 Fall Rain

Nice Gary. We live in an apartment, where some of us pay for electricty, others do not. Its' very evident who does. We are careful, turning off lights and things. While we own a car, we often walk to the store for a number of reasons, but being better for the enviornment and us, are the biggest reasons. The earth is our responsibility no matter where we live. Great poem!!

Thanks, B

I know that smell, and the scents that go with the earth at different times of the year. They remind you that the earth is alive, that it changes as you do, as your own seasons change. But the smell of fall rain is special, and you capture that beautifully. Thank you for reminding us.

Thanks, Parker. Living where I do, surrounded by woods and fields, and no traffic, I get to connect with Mother Earth every day through my sense of smell. I think fall rain is special too... cheers... Gary....

A great eco-poem, reminds us all of what our true priorities ought to be.
I recycle, buy most everything second-hand, and combine errands since I depend on friends for transport now. When I was younger and lived in the country, I walked or rode my bike everywhere, but can't do that in a city with almost no bike lanes and insane drivers...sigh.

Thanks, CG. Nature gives me so much. It's why I had to come back from the city. You tend to lose touch with it there. Toronto is a clean city, but it sure does smell different from being in a rural setting. I'm glad you liked it... much appreciated, my friend... cheers... Gary....

Rainstorms make me wish I lived in a house with a lovely wide porch. I'd sit in a comfy chair and just watch and listen to the rain as it fell. Something about that is just so peaceful and calming.

My balcony just doesn't quite measure up... *sigh*

 

Gary, thanks for the images this invokes.

The earth is a beautiful place that needs to be cherished. I have that wide veranda, and it's perfect for watching a storm or listening to peaceful rain... thanks for your support, Reader
