#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

This statuesque deciduous fern delivers season-long drama. In spring, cinnamon-colored fertile fronds rise like flames, followed by graceful green fronds that arch through summer and glow golden in fall.⁠

A lover of nature feels the fascination of the ferns though he may know little of their names and habits. Beholding them in their native haunts, adorning the rugged cliffs, gracefully fringing the water-courses, or waving their stately fronds on the borders of woodlands, he feels their call to a closer acquaintance

Happiness is having all the varieties of ferns unfolding. Green splendor in all areas of the yard. All the ferns I transplanted from the woods we have are thriving. Cinnamon fern one of my favorites. It was so much cooler, and still sunny and pleasant today. Clients in the afternoon and I loved leading my free Grandmother As Muse webinar tonight. I loved creating the prompt, and the writing shared was so moving. Frank played tennis while I was in my webinar, and when I was done he was done and I brought him the poke bowl my daughter got him and he ate it at the court and I sat with him under the crescent moon. This weather is so inviting.
