The first snowfall since summer! You can always rely on the weather forecast! (said with a snicker) This time, though, they really were calling for snow.
Have a great day!

Windows Into The Soul, A Tale For Fandango’s Flash Fiction Challenge
Gary studied the man intently, capturing every detail. The length of the man’s hair, the shape of his nose. None of it would matter much though if he didn’t get the eyes just right.
He spent most of his time on the man’s eyes. Windows into the man’s being, his soul. Eyes told you a lot about a person, their measure of their own worth. If not properly captured, the drawing would lack the life of it’s own Gary had been known for creating.
Yet something was wrong. He knew he had managed every last detail of this man’s eyes and yet the life was still not there. Instead, looking at this image seemed to pull the viewer’s own life force just a bit, drawn into a chasm apparent in this man’s eyes, and draining it away.
“I’m sorry. What did you say your name is?”, Gary asked the man as he continued his drawing.
“Lucifer.”, the man replied, “Though I am known by many.”

Missing the Sun, A Marigold’s Lament – Poem and FOTD
Missing the sun,
Seasons now change,
What have I done?
Seems rather strange...
Rays now are less,
Replaced by these leaves,
Feeling more stress,
Come back soon please...
Wondering now,
Can I make it much more,
I don't know how,
Chilled to the core...
Just one more glance,
As I'm fading away,
Crossed the expanse,
No more to say.
As I was thinking about the picture above being one of the last pictures of Marigolds I am likely to get this year, fallen leaves invading the scene, days growing shorter I was taken by thoughts of what this change might be like to the marigold were it able to ponder the end of the growing season.
The marigold chosen for Cee’s Flower of the Day, November 10, 2019.
Thank you for visiting and I hope you have a restful Sunday!
