These August days

Today for lunch I went to the nearest park, and watched the trees on a nearby hill. I didn't have a camera with me, otherwise I would show you how leaves have started to change their colors. Each tree had a color of its own. Autumn is approaching, although there is still a full month before we say goodbye to the Summer on calendar. It is time for this:They look good but (usually) I don't eat them. This weekend we had a chance to spot this one:Smooth snake (Coronella austriaca). As harmless and small as it was, people saw danger in it at once. Ž and I hardly persuaded people that it was not poisonous. They wanted to kill it. Interesting, how people think. Or they don't think at all.

It is also time for this:Listening to the stories, this time from Shetland and Orkney Islands. I don't wonder that people were happier in the old days. When you listen to the stories, there's no space for worries in our brains anymore. And I slept my sweetest dreams!

For those, speaking Slovenian, here are a few words by Peter Florjančič, famous Slovenian inventor:

I am sure that almost all of you have come upon one of his inventions - slide holders. He was born in the same year as my granddad, but he had much happier life. A lucky man indeed... And he knows it!

Karma for today: Change with the seasons.
