Summer's End

"In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year, bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil.
And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such superb colour effects as from August to November."
- Rose G. Kingsley, The Autumn Garden, 1905

It is my hope that you have all had a wonderful and relaxing summer season! I know summer is not quite over yet, but for me, August symbolizes the beginning of fall. Perhaps it is because as a child that is when your lazy summer days are over and the thoughts of the crisp fall air, beautiful changing leaves and early school classes begin. Cleaning up the garden, shorter days, cozy fires, the aromas of freshly baked treats from the oven...that is fall to me and I welcome it after the heat of the summer.

I will be getting back to my blogging on a more regular basis and will be back to visiting my favorite blogs as well. Wishing you a wonderful Autumn!
