Before I knew it, summer passed in a blink!
Flowers have bloomed and faded away,
Warm breezes have come and gone,
Sunsets that were once late in the evening
are now on our doorstep not long after dinner!
Summer was a mixture of
unusually hot days
and lots of sunshine,
bird watching, butterfly gazing
and catching the scent of my sweet
Butterfly Bush through the open windows.
Summer was unhurried mornings
relaxing on the back deck,
feeling the sun's rays wrap their
beautifully warm arms around me.
It was sightings of tiny newborn fawns,
the long awaited return of my hummingbirds
and nest building in my birdhouses.
It was rainbows on my kitchen walls
as sunshine glistened through my prism,
It was vases of flower bouquets
from roadside stands, fresh berries
and hot fudge sundaes
while driving through the country,
winding down after long, busy days.
Then, slowly but surely, the changes came.
Those little changes like the color of the sky,
the way the leaves look on the trees
and the lack of katydids singing in the night.
Sultry evenings dwindled, cooler mornings
greeted us as we stepped out the door.
And now, here we are, welcoming
the season of Autumn, before I'm
really ready to let summer go....
Yet, here I am, digging out my Autumn
displays ~ colorful leaf garlands,
scarecrows, candles for the mantle
and a wreath for the front door....
And I hope, my dear friends, that this post
finds you all happy and healthy,
moving along productively in life,
much the same as I!

P.S. If you have an iPad, iPhone or smartphone like me, you've no doubt realized how much easier it is to jump on the internet and do what once was only done from our computers at home! I recently found an app that's quite simple to use and allows the upload of information quickly and with ease. These days, that's a really intriguing idea to me, because I hardly ever sit down at the computer much anymore! And I'd rather do a short but sweet post, than to have no post at all, which, sadly, has been the case here.
I've tried repeatedly to use the Blogger app on my device, in an attempt to post quick updates here and there, but for some reason there's always a glitch and it ends up booting me off the post I'm trying to post! :/
So I'd like to invite you to join me over at my new page (don't worry I'll still post here from time to time), where I hope to keep in touch with you all much more regularly. And the nice thing is, it's computer friendly, too. Please stop in and say hello!☺
