The Same Girl Inside
I asked an old woman, gentle and wise,
What it feels like to live through time’s disguise,
To know most of life now lingers behind,
While memories shimmer through heart and mind.
She smiled in a way both tender and true,
And said, “I feel no older than you.
The voice in my head has stayed the same,
Still just a young girl with a different name.
I’ve always been someone’s daughter at heart,
Still wondering when ‘old age’ would start.
I watched my reflection slowly change,
Yet inside I remained beyond time’s range.
My body grew slower, my steps less sure,
But the girl within stayed bright and pure.
She never grew weary, never grew old,
Her laughter still dances, her spirit still bold.
Time touched my skin, softened my sight,
But never could dim my inner light.
For souls don’t wrinkle, nor do they bend,
They travel with us, without an end.
So when you see age in a weathered face,
Know youth still lives in that quiet place.
For every old heart is a child once more,
Still longing for kindness, as always before.
Give love and give purpose, let compassion start,
For we are all children just wrapped in a heart.
Our spirits eternal, our essence the same,
Just travellers in time with a different name.” 💛

These Wild Grapes are growing all over our property. Some have actual grapes on them. I'm told by an expert that they are much smaller and tarter than domestic grapes. It's no surprise these are so prolific here, Tompkins County is a prime grape growing region.

I don't often see these around here. Last one was in New Mexico, (see photo below) so it was nice to see another one.

IMPATIENS WALLERIANA
La Impatiens walleriana Hook. f. (1868) è originaria dell’Africa tropicale (Kenya, Malawi, Mozambico, Tanzania e Zimbabwe) dove cresce nelle foreste costiere e lungo le rive dei fiumi in zone umide ed ombrose.
Il nome del genere è il termine latino “impatiens” = impaziente, con riferimento alle capsule che si aprono di scatto disseminando i semi; la specie è dedicata al missionario britannico Horace Waller (1833-1896).

IMPATIENS WALLERIANA
Impatiens walleriana Hook. f. (1868) is native to tropical Africa (Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zimbabwe) where it grows in coastal forests and along the banks of rivers in humid and shady areas.
The name of the genus is the Latin term "impatiens" = impatient, with reference to the capsules that open suddenly, scattering the seeds; the species is dedicated to the British missionary Horace Waller (1833-1896).

In the heart of the desert, where silence reigns, a lone, weathered bush clings to the shifting sands. The wind carves intricate patterns on the golden dunes, casting long shadows that dance under the endless blue sky. A testament to resilience, survival, and the quiet beauty of the arid wilderness.
Seen from a United Airlines flight descending toward San Diego, the desert and mountains of Southern California reveal themselves as a living map of contrasts. The cracked desert floor spreads like parched skin, while dark ridges rise in sharp relief, etched with centuries of erosion. From above, the land becomes abstract art — a reminder that nature has always been the first cartographer. What story do you see written in these lines?
