things worth noticing

sixteen small things to look for in the last stretch of summer. cross one off when you find it, or don't. nobody is counting.

a blackberry worth reaching for
thistledown drifting past
a butterfly that will not settle
grass gone gold and dry
sun still warm at eight in the evening
swallows lining up on a wire
an acorn, still green
dew on everything, first thing
a toadstool that was not there yesterday
something rustling that is not the wind
a feather worth keeping
one flower still going in the heat
clover you stopped to check
the first star, before bed
a stream lower than it should be
a tree already dropping things
half of these will be gone by the end of the month, which is the only reason to hurry. the other half will still be there next year.
