August is the month when Autumn comes to dance with Summer! :) There's hot days, cool nights, and the two go round and round like a dance! :) The leaves show the first signs of Fall color, ...
while Summer blooms continue to glow! :)
The table arrangement, taken from the yard, seems to say it all! :)
Which do we see, Summer or Fall? I see both spinning together in a seamless waltz! :)
Rich color mixes easily with Summer green! :)
It's stunning beauty catches my breath! :)
The sky is pure blue one day, and wispy clouds blow in the next promising a future change in the weather, followed by nothing-but-blue the next! :) Transition is in the air! :)
The corn stalks boast tall tassels while we wait for the appearance of Summer corn! :)
Raspberries are producing while other crops, ...
Like potatoes, (brown leaves in the background) are done and ready for harvest or already harvested! :)
The felines love the cooler mornings and evenings, while enjoying the warmth of the sun! :)
The Big Beef are just starting to show color ...
as these Summer days promise continued heat to finish ripening them! :)
Sun Gold and Juliet continue to grace our table, ...
and it won't be long before big Beef does the same! :)
Summer blooms remind us that it is still Summertime! :)
With crops still promising Summer production! :)
Some crops are finishing up, hinting that Fall's around the corner! :)
While other crops are just getting started and stating that Summer is still here! :)
All promise a productive tomorrow! :)
This little honey bee was hard at work in the garden! I smiled at all the pollen I saw on it! :)
I was surprised when it went down into the bloom for more pollen! :)
Way down there! :)
Now here it comes up again! :)
Look at all that pollen! :)
It's just Coated with it! :)
There it goes! Off to the hive with it's life saving load, to get them through the Winter! :)
The cool Fall-like morning allowed me to run the oven to bake up another zucchini casserole, just in time to use up more zucchini from the garden! :)
I baked this strawberry crumb cake at the same time, one heat for both dishes! :)
Many days are still too hot for this activity, but on occasion that touch of Fall allows it! :)
While we still are enjoying Summer fruits, ...
And Summer blooms, ...
We are ever mindful that we are at the end of the Summer season! :)
Soon Fall with be here and we will be harvest Fall fruits! :)
In the meantime we will enjoy the blessings of Summer and ...
When we feel Fall in the air we can enjoy the break from the heat! :)
We can kick off our shoes, spin on the grass, and share in the dance! :)
