Agh! Not yet, not yet! But sadly they’re upon us, the waning days of summer. Well put – as always! Reply
I hate that time of year. Just waking up without sunlight seems unnatural.
It sure does and it is well on its way.
Special request for longer summers please… :)
I will see what I can do. :)
Wonderful words!
Thank you Patti. :)
You sum it up beautifully but I wish it wasn’t happening.
Me too, but unfortunately we can’t stop it.
My favorite time of year. Beautifully written :-)
I enjoy it as well, the cooler weather will be nice when it finally gets here.

Yes it is unfortunate, but what are we to do. :)
