Summer is winding down. Yesterday morning the air had a bite to it and the grass beneath my feet was crisp.
I am grateful for the change of seasons for a variety of reasons, but the main reason is it helps me to appreciate the season as we have it.
Each season has its beauty.
Summer, for instance, had this:

Those are so pretty.

We had frost yesterday morning for the second time this week. I am grateful I picked my tomatoes before the first one!

Bag Lady, thanks. I'm glad you rescued your tomatoes in time.

Pretty flowers! I like them because they are so easy to grow, I will have to get more next summer.

Sometimes i just wish the change didn't come quite so soon.

Leah J. Utas said...

Pretty, yes. I have no idea about how they grow as Mike does all that.

I hear you, Messymimi.

I agree about the season appreciation. I just appreciate summer a little more than the others. ;) Lovely flower.

Leah J. Utas said...

Hilary, I appreciate each season for what it has to offer, but I feel the best in the fall.

Beautiful flowers! And I'm enjoying the changing seasons too. Fall's been particularly gorgeous on the cape so far this year... golden light, sunny and crisp, the huge crowds of tourists abating but everything still open for townies to enjoy. But by winter we're outta here. Too thin-blooded for "real" winters.

I am dreading going down to my rows of corn today. It didn't make it last year either.
But yes...each season has its own charm. Just some has more than others;)

Leah J. Utas said...

Thanks, Crabby. Glad those wacky tourists are thinning.

Dawn, best of luck with the corn.

I'm also a fan of having four distinct seasons. Each has its charms but I'll admit to liking the one around the corner best of all. Autumn is just plain wonderful.

Frank, I couldn't agree more.
