A Simple Formula For Living

This makes the rounds of Facebook every once in awhile. To me, it's worth keeping where I can easily find it.

Orchard Before Harvest

As I'm kicking through the falling leaves

Loving the clear blue skies over this pecan orchard

And watching little dog Petey run ten miles for every mile I walk

Booming machinery works the next orchard over

 Autumn skies there patched by clouds of dust

My heart lifts a bit at this morning scene

And I feel hope, hope, hope

The frost has come

The trees stand ready

The nuts may not know what's coming

P.S. I hope you used your secret decoder rings!
