August...


Wow! It's August, and here I'd promised myself that online journaling was going to be easier to maintain that handwritten posts...ah, well. July was filled with great memories, and lazy days that were too hot to do more than hang out on the couch and read. We went to the beach and Cape Cod, took nightly family walks around our neighborhood, watched sunsets come earlier than we wanted them too, and celebrated the opening of our black eyed Susan's and echanachea plants.

Now when I take my morning walk with the dog, it's officially in the 'predawn' hour. This morning, August 1, we witnessed our first PMF...Otherwise known as a premigratory flock! Canada geese were honking and heading south. I know they were headed to the local small pond near my house, but still, it is very early to have them flocked in a V group that way. Oh my, and I just got used to walking in the dark! Now I'm seeing signs that the turning of the wheel is very evident and I'm feeling ambivalent about it.
I've come to a place in my life when I feel the wheel, live the wheel, accept the wheel. I love each season, and the changing process too. So I'll grab photo's of my flowering beds, remembering summer digitally, and look forward to the cool whisper of fall as she peeks in the door during this last full month of summer.
