Summer...you go by too soon!


Summer is speedy traveler.  Where do the long days go?  It's really not over until September on the Autumnal Equinox but with the start of school in late August here, the yellow school buses will make it over whether it really is or not!

We have had hot humid weather without rain but the past few days have been really delightful:  dry, sunny, breezy, no smog, no haze.

Here are some "snapshots" of recent visited places...
 where have you been this summer? 

Van Gogh exhibition, Williamstown, MA 













Long Island Sound
Random summer scenes









Swap stuff...as usual!




I would show you my lovely deck garden but the pugnacious neighborhood squirrels ate the tops off the flowers, unearthed roots and nibbled through several cacti.  They are well fed  by our neighborhood so I am not sure what is up with that!  There are many babies and many squabbles while they are invading! They don't like oregano but parsley and basil seem to be faves.  We keep birdbaths filled with water for them but I think they might look for the moisture within the plants they demolish.

Hope you are having a fine summer! 

Until next time!

As always,

enjoy the day!

I cannot wait for Summer to be over. I haven't been anywhere this summer, just staying home under the AC. I went to Long Island once as a small child, but remember little about it. I hope to one day travel that way agaun. Blessings sweet friend ♡
