October is here
My absolute favorite
Sight, sound, taste, smell, touch...

When I need to escape for a minute,
I get on my bike and head for the river.
The river is my dope.
I went late afternoon to cut some pampas grass,
or susuki, as it's called here.
But no silver sprouts yet!
Other wild grasses,
cosmos flowers,
jumping grasshoppers,
and a lone guitarist picking out a tune in the distance,
were there ...
I walked along,
at the time of day when everything gets a fiery glow-
I found some gnarled, dried milkweed to cut...
Till Next Time...

Yesterday, my students of English Conversation
took me to lunch at a lovely café in our vicinity...
It features an English styled garden,
with a pathway to roses, seasonal flowers, herbs, and grasses...
Inside, are the dining rooms, with outdoor terraces.
First, we were served a cold rose hip tea
that was very refreshing
after our walk in the humidity
and heat of the rainy season.
The food was delicious,
and my students and I enjoyed the lunch,
served with freshly baked
raisin & cranberry bread.
I loved the beautiful English-style crockery;
teacups & saucers, & teapots
all daintily hand-painted with roses...
After lunch, we walked through the garden.
Although peak time for roses was in May,
we were still able to see and smell
a few beauties :
