I took this picture in my front yard about a month ago.I always find it a little sad to say goodbye to the summer. This year it is bittersweet. It was a hard summer, but also a good one. I put down my needles for a few months but I picked up a trowel instead. Well, I picked up the trowel for a while until it mysteriously disappeared (I had a few suspects, one with four legs and a couple with two) at that point my trowel became a large kitchen spoon (or rather my big kitchen spoon became a trowel). I planted many new perennials and some annuals for color. A good friend built me window boxes (she claims it was her own therapy). I happily watered my hanging baskets, boxes, flower beds and lawn each morning while I waited for my tea to cool. After all of my plants had been given a drink, I would take my tea in the backyard while I spent fifteen or twenty minutes having some Bible time.
But now it is cold. Mornings have become a bit crazy around here. I need to find a new routine. I look forward to next summer with more flowers and more tea on the patio.

There hasn't been much change in our weather, but I'm a little sad to say goodbye to summer too. What I'll miss are the long hours of sunlight. Love your sunflower picture.
Sunflowers. I had almost forgotten how lovely they can be. I don't seen sunflowers in this part of the country. Thank you :-)
The sunflower photo is lovely! We had sunflowers this year thank to Pink Dandelion's planting them.
Next summer come up this way and have tea on my porch :)
