And summer is fading, isn't it? You can start to see the trees lighten up, the air isn't so heavy. One of the best country pleasures is watching the wildlife around you, they can be entertaining but they also can predict the weather if you watch them regularly. I've noticed the squirrels coming in closer, like this one stealing fruit loops that I set out for the blue jays. And the blue jays screaming every morning for peanuts on the deck. Even the deer are coming up to the house in the mornings or evenings, raiding the apple tree. The hummers can't get enough "go juice" lately either, they are fueling up for the long trek south soon. Like so many of you, I love fall. It's my favorite season, for the scents, the foliage, pumpkins and the chill in the air. Something about the way the air feels cleaner, lighter and sweet. As August comes to a end soon, and schools are back in session, this is the time to harvest hope. It's a refreshing uplift before winter keeps us locked inside. Enjoy your own wildlife, thank God for the easy summer and harvest baskets of hope, faith and promise that no matter the season, we will be ok. Happy fading summer days to you.....
What a beautiful post, my Friend.

What a beautiful post, Sue! Fall really is on its way. Several trees around here are turning yellow and the Carolina Creeper is already turning red. I love fall~those crisp mornings are just the best!
ReplyDeleteLovely post, and beautifully written. I agree, there's something in the air.. and I like it! :) -tammy
ReplyDeleteI have noticed that my hummingbirds are really thirsty these days, but didn't even think about they were stocking up for their trip! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAwh...I'm SO lovin' the cooler evenings that August brings...and the nights are appearing earlier too and SOON...fall will be totally in the air and I can hardly wait!!
ReplyDeleteHappy EARLY fall to you!
yeah I am loving what you described too..we have a tomato eating racoon ..and are fit to be tied..she has eaten 2 of our big just about ripe tomatoes..so we are in a lather..but we put up a barrier and hope it holds till we can pick them..:)
ReplyDeleteI love the fall...maybe we will have a longer one this year..I also see the wildlife hoarding things...I love watching them...I am starting to put out bird feed again..I only did it occassionally so they would feed off the bad bugs in my garden and it seemed to work...It is humid today but it is cooling off quickly...a few days next week they are predicting in the 60s....You have a wonderful day.

ReplyDeleteAutumn is my favorite time. They say that Spring is the time of renewal, but Fall is my renewal time. The air is so cool and fresh and my energy comes back quickly. Can't wait for it to be here. Great post, sweet girl. xxoo
ReplyDeleteThe end of summer days are a sweet taste of autumn to come! Autumn is my favorite too.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I love fall! We are still in the midst of heat and humidity. I expect we`ll be much cooler the end of September. As far as wildlife, the coyotes and rabbits come by every day to eat cantaloupe and watermelon.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue!
ReplyDeleteI'm counting the days til the calendar says 1st day of Autumn.
I can hardly wait to start putting sunflowers and fall leaves in all the wreaths!
Like you, I also have noticed nature getting ready to change seasons. The poplar trees have already started losing their leaves and deer are raiding the crab apples.
I'm thankful for the changing seasons. I get bored quickly and anxious await the next change.
You are such a blessing to me.
I'm thankful for our new friendship. Your flair for the country life IN JESUS really spurrs me on!
SMOOCHY HOLYKISSES,
AND HOW BOUT A STEAMY CUP OF APPLE CIDER!
Hugs Lea

Hi Sue, Have you commented on a blog called Ravings of a Mad Housewife? I thought I saw your comments. Her blog has just disappeared off the face of the earth along with her new one that she just started about a week ago. No explanation at all. Do you know anything about it? I am very inexperienced with computers and blogging so don't know how to check. I appreciate any insights.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brenda
good day bros. I'm honestly into shoes and I was looking for the sake of that exact brand. The prices due to the fact that the shoes are all over 220 dollars on every site. But definitively I base this location selling them as a remedy for half price. I really love those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]gucci sneakers[/url]. I will probably purchase them. what is your opinion?
