So that was the summer that got away…
Actually, it started with spring, which was cool and rainy
and not conducive to doing a darn thing – especially gardening…
Then it got warm…and continued to rain (at least the plants
liked it)…
Then Dad had health issues…then I had health issues…
Then, suddenly, it’s the week before Labor Day…WHAT?!?!?!
I’m actually ready – like, REALLY ready – for fall, because
this summer has been abysmal – although my gardens do look pretty good, so I
guess that’s something.
I’m ready for cooler nights, hot cocoa, plaid everything and
boots. I’m ready for apple cider, sunflowers, mums and fall décor. I will not
join you all on the pumpkin spice train, however – I just don’t get it, sorry.
Bring on health, bring on fall, bring on new beginnings.
