They were a little soggy this year and a little cool. But they ended delightfully.
We spent these days harvesting the last of the garden treasures.
We finished digging in landscaping edging.
We played in the dirt
and watered flowers that were dry when everything else was still too wet.
We watched and listened as harvest began around us.
And I soaked in the stillness, the quietness, the heaviness of this beginning-of-fall air.
The evenings so saturated with color,
the mornings so full of quiet and promise,
everything heavy with seed, the fruit of the season, the satisfaction of gathering in, the hope for tomorrow, the promise of next year.
Mostly, good bye summer. You were truly great, truly exhausting in a work and fun filled way.
Welcome autumn, the season of contentedness, bringing in, and turning towards home.

LOVE the shot of little hands on the hose (a sight that is often seen around here too). And two of the "saturated" photos... the power line and the tower. What amazing color, and with the added foreground items in silhouette is so very dramatic. Yes, goodbye September. But HELLO October!
Amazing photos! It's sad to let summer go...but it will come again.
All of your pics were so awesome!! My favorite was the sunset with the truck coming down the road. So glad you are sharing those pictures we dont see on facebook! :) The last sentence made me smile and brought comfort in knowing things are slowing down a bit!
What a gorgeous post! Loved those sunset photos...soooo beautiful! :)
Blessings,
