Summer's Fading

Summer's winding down to a beautiful warm end this year. Not hot...not humid, just lovely. We walked our town's avenue and saw young people eating ice cream sharing time with friends and hoping to ward off the school year, or maybe hoping for it to come, who knows.

The end of summer is always nice, but this summer it's especially nice. I've wandered these past few evenings around the yard and the garden among the butterflies and humming birds or sat quietly on our veranda, filled with warm breezes and the sounds that fill all summer days. I just love this time of year!!

The Best of Summer

The humidity has melted into the evening, and I have the windows open again. This is the weather I really love! Warm during the day, cool evenings and all the smells of the summer permeating the bedroom at night. That kind of weather always makes for wonderful sleep and truly special dreams.

This kind of weather can also create some of the best summer memories because everyone wants to be outside and doing something. I have plans to be out on my bike tomorrow, and walking my dogs too. These are the times that make for great winter memories when that cold permeates the soul and to ward it off I can close my eyes and imagine a ride, or a walk that holds all the warmth of summer. Yes...these are those special days.
