Just as summer has drawn in, so my trip to visit my dear daughter is almost over.
It was showery today and my usual walk down by the sea was interrupted by a downpour. Later the sun broke through and I decided to walk around the neighbourhood. Another sign that fall is here are the many colourful Rowan trees… some of my favourites
In fact, the hero of an as yet unpublished novel I wrote years ago is called Rowan.
I am a little sad that soon I will leave but this rainbow reminded me that the sun, and optimism work wonders.
To my surprise I met an old friend as I wandered around a few streets over.
and ended up at my daughter’s place several years ago. We put out a “ neighbourhood watch” notice and his master came and got him.
He gave me such a soulful and sweet look today that I feel sure he remembered me. Friends already!
