9.16.14 How Do We Cut Back On Expenses, Yet Really Relish Our Lives?



How do we cut back on expenses and yet really relish our lives? 
Down a paycheck. Or one paycheck and stretching.
 Cold weather and heating costs lurking around the corner, as always. 

Yet, the evening was beautiful. 
The third day of a magnificent chili better each reheating. 

Fresh broccoli rabe with portabellas and onions and fresh Rosemary. 
Brown rice with a touch of quinoa. 

A nice sunday of laughing with my brother and talking with a deep dear friend 
and meandering all the gardens and woods, 
as everything prepares-either for the make-it-or-break-it times, 
or the time of restorative deep sleep and dormancy . 

As I gather seed heads for next year 
and whisper to the plants, 
slowly preparing for the killing frost still far off; 

and once again,
 a grand finale of the warm growing times for all of us, 
readying the garden goodbye .
