The hairy white oldfield aster is a native to the eastern US. It blooms midsummer through midfall. It makes a joyous splash of brightness against the autumn background. May each of you have a blessed day! Doc Ellen

Trees, lest we forget, have their own memories. Arboreal kin folk remembered as the lake recedes and the ancient ones briefly appear in the silver hush of an autumn dawning.
today I am vibrantly me
anon I will be but a memory
but today that letting go
that surrender to the wind
is not to be
today I am still vibrantly me
