The quietness of the ripples, the colors of the sunset

Serenity lingers here in quiet conversation

A father and son, hushed by the stillness of the water.

Fandango’s Flashback Friday — September 1st

http://cyranny.com/2023/08/30/august-30th-1minfiction-challenge/

Many new people including a manager moved into my complex. Apparently they have no problem risking fines as they blatantly break rules and offend other dwellers. I am one of those dwellers and disappointed to see that these people who have animals and their own patio areas and yard space decide to stroll in the front of the complex where my patio is located. The small bushes that were planted two years ago have since disappeared and why? Because these rude people just let their dogs poop and pee on my area because they don’t want to mess up their own areas or are too lazy to use the area specifically for that purpose. I am so tired of seeing this and my daughter wonders why I don’t like sitting on my patio. Sitting out there is not a deterrent either🤯. One woman that I confronted a year ago said yes, I get in trouble when I do that…she still does it…🤷‍♀️I just threw up my hands🙄.

From NPR:

“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell abruptly froze again at a press conference yesterday. The incident happened at an event in Covington, Ky., after a reporter asked if he would run for reelection. His office said he was feeling “lightheaded.”On Up First this morning, she says many thanked him for his decades of service but were ready to see a change. Some mentioned term limits and said it might be the only way to see more young people in Congress.”

Fall

Autumn

Either works

My favorite

Colorful trees seen

Scented air of apples

Gardening results abound

Tasty offerings from neighbors

School buses bumping along with kids

Parents weep as kindergarten child leaves

Seasonal changes in every aspect

Leaves start to change, fall as a constant reminder

Life will never remain the same, renewal is good

That’s what “they” say

Hard to accept

Be positive

Is good advice

Heed it, live it

It is all good.

“All these hate words” (these people are like a buffola magnet), he thought. The irreverent man spoke as he stepped from the rear to the front of the crowd, pushing aside the maga hat group. “The only seed of stimulating speech you said was at the beginning when you said, “take the measure of this man by his actions”. That’s what you should do…think about it!”
