ONE RED LEAF - A PROFOUND THOUGHT FROM MASTER STEWEY ANGUS WILLOWSWAMP, HIS VERY DEEP LITTLE SELF

My mom can't come to the blog right now....she's on the back patio, gawping like a cod fish at something or other.  Moments ago, when I went outside for my morning constitutional and general inspection of each and every blade of grass, I heard the old lady bellowing.

"Stewey!", she hollered.  "Look at this bright yellow tree with one red leaf!"

It's not unusual for Mo-ther to holler about complete nonsense, but this time the portly old dear just might be on to something...


If you look closely, you might see a small black dot in the relative center of the picture above.  Let's see if I can get a little better view for you...


See it now?  One red leaf in the midst of all of that glorious yellow.  

I'm not normally one to wax poetic, but even I can see the significance of this lovely moment....perhaps we should all strive to be that one red leaf on the yellow tree of life.

(Oh, that was just ghastly.  I feel the need to retch delicately into my handkerchief now.)

Here's hoping that your weekend is filled with lovely moments.

With love from your pal, 
Stewey

  5. What a wonderful find! I moved from N.E. Ohio (lived there for 43 years) to Las Vegas about 7 months ago, and I think the one thing I've missed the most is seeing the changing of the leaves. Thanks for sharing your picture with us Stewey, and Mo-ther. :)
