Just Looking out of he kitchen window ~ I see the sure signs of summer almost ending ~The Clematis ~ has climbed im sure as high as it will probably go ~ that is right to the very top of the trellis~ The Sweet Peas as well ~have made thier beautiful appearence~ Why is it ~that just right at the time~ when the flowers are so very beautiful ~ and could not get more full and abundant ~ that it is time now to end the lovely show of colours ?~I guess thats Nature ~ Wow everywhere you look~ throughout the entire yard~ The nasturtiums are at thier best also with that vivid bright orange flower~ that can be seen from a distance showing off its beauty ~
The petunias~ always seem to flower that much more ~and quicker at this time ~ Its almost Time to clean up the yard~ and get the pots ready for next spring to begin another batch of seeds started ~ for a new show of colours~
Yes`~ the air is getting a bit cooler ~` hopefully we will still get treated with some ~*summer like weather*~ just before it all ends~ The tomatoe plants are all full of fruit also~and soon can be picked ~~ `` I remember when* mom* used to pick off all her tomatoes~ and wrap them in news print~ and put them ~ in a cardboard box ~and set it under the bed ~ We~~ as children ~~found it to be such a~* special treat *~when she would check them~ and see if they have turned colour ~and we could eat them ~ Yes ~they were good memories ~ ~Then of course ~ now with the ending of summer ~ it means the beginning of work~ for some also ~ Such as getting ready to make preserves ~ and such from the gardens ~for the cold winter days ahead~ ~So there is always ~something else happening after the end of summer~besides children heading back to the classrooms ~ and cleaning up the yards~ Life is a wonderful circle ~And we get out of it whatever we put into it ~
