Yes, we're teetering somewhere between summer and autumn...it's a bittersweet time.
And so, before it disappears completely, here are a few photos of our summer. Some taken here on the farm, some on vacation, but all filled with sweet memories.

Soon our kitchen will be filled with the sweet aroma of grape jam, followed by simmering pots of savory tomato sauce. We'll dig potatoes, plant fall lettuce (mostly for the chickens to enjoy!), and stack a wood pile close to the door.
The kids will look for woolly worms to see if they predict a cold winter, and the last county fair coming up is our very favorite.
Yes, it's a time of change...but as the we've heard before, to every ending, there is a beginning. Let's savor it all...gathering, putting by, cool mornings, and lovely evenings with a coppery glow. Yes...life is good.
This time of year for us it can be fall like one minuet and humid summer the next ! It has been fall like the past few days and now we are back into humidity ! The kids here go back to school the first week of September and our fairs are the first weekend of September here .We here are also slowly getting ready for fall , chopping firewood to put up by the house and store in the wood shed , pulling all the warmer coats and cloths out . I do love the fall. Lovely post and photos , have a great day !
