Little Pigeon River - JMcEwen
Our Season
“Remember our ‘Salad Days?’” she asked wistfully.
“You mean when we were green and tender?” he replied with a
smile, taking her hand.
“Yes! When fall comes, and I see how beautifully leaves grow
old, I realize that it is only a season since we were youthful and vibrant. Our
lives go by so quickly the older we get.”
“Did you think we would stay young forever? That’s no fun! I’m glad I can rest now, and sit with you
like this—like a pair of comfortable shoes that have seen better days, but fit
so perfectly together.”
Jenny gave us such a wonderful Saturday Centus today, didn't she? The prompt is in bold type, and the words, limited to 103, just fell out of my fingers and onto the page! I'm anxious to see the offerings of the other Centusians, and I hope you will join me.

Judie: Is that river near your new house?
Nope! It is in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. For many years, Rod and I made an annual trip to that area to view the fall colors. We will probably take a trip there in 2013. I've been on the road enough this year!!
Lovely words, thoughts, and photo :-) My Centus is rather "ornerier" (not certain if that's actually a word but I like it
Lovely image (both photo and words)!
Sweet...such a little love story around the leaves!
So beautifully written. Isn't it wonderful?
Nice one, especially for fall.
Beautiful! I love "like a pair of comfortable shoes..." Kinda describes Hubby and me.
Very well written.
Oh I love your story. Your write so wonderfully.
Now Judie that was just lovely. And I especially like how the words just "fell" from your fingers. I speak from experience...it's good to have working fingers!~Ames
Very beautiful and profound, Judie! And I LOVE the picture, too. Fall is my favorite season.
Growing old gracefully...sounds so wonderful but so many people struggle with aging...I think you have to just be like the leaves and go with the seasons. Not much point in resisting.
Love the photo too!
how sweet! growing old is nothing if you have a companion, you reminded of that. thanks.
have a great day.
I am living this one.
Well said!
=)
I think you'd better paint that shot. It is amazing.
From one dear salad lover friend to another- But, yes of course we will stay young forever...and we'll get younger and younger and younger..... :)
Your new surroundings are as beautiful as your writing. I miss you, Judie. Sorry it took me so long to drop by.
Be well.

Lovely, lovely sentiment, Judie!
Growing older is so much nicer when you share the experience with a loved one.
This is so beautiful....
healing power of the soul
Very comforting.
I like the comfort, but I like the sparks, too.
And what a beautiful picture.
