Summer Fades to Fall

Summer is drawing to a slow close...

And Bingley is now 8 months old

The sky has been stormy several times

(kind of neat after a summer with no rain)

We're still getting Peppers (we didn't pick these in time--now they're "woody")

Our Black-eyed Susan vine is more beautiful than ever!

 I picked a basketful of Peppers today

 Brad bought the yellow mums on clearance last year for 10 cents each!

 The Knock-out Rose still keeps cranking out blooms below

We've been doing some baking, and finished up our canning

We put out our Fall Decorations

We're having a bit of trouble getting out of "Summertime mode"

Right now it feels like Indian Summer--yesterday was 80!

But I guess it's time to say...so long Summer!

When summer gathers up her robes of glory,

And, like a dream, glides away.
