Summer is winding down... although it is still pretty much considered summer by human standards, I know it is winding down already. I can feel it in my bones and in the song the heart sings, by this time every August.
There is something of the marvelous, something of the 'unknown' lingering in the hot air, and I walk barefooted on soft, wet grasses and know it in my heart, that time is done.
In fact, I have already started pulling out some of the houseplants I had transferred into the garden at the beginning of the spring, to get them acclimatized to the indoors again..
...time flights, hours, days, months melt away with the last heat of August
and again, I'd have to play inside and just be happy inside...
I love to look at our downstairs bedroom from this view behind the Collette roses in the rotunda...
The Collette roses are done by now, but this is an amazing view in early spring when they are in full bloom...
OK, now that I am showing you the pics, I think I want them closer to each other...
what do you all think?
