is it really over?..summer..sigh

 It's hard to fathom that July and August have slipped by.and now almost September..it never fails to amaze me that September heralds a colorful display of flowers and grasses even before the leaves light up in Autumn..The chickens,goats,pots and cats are taking in all of the outdoors they can muster before frosty days ahead confine them..Similarly i try to breathe in all I can..I am a reluctant gardener.. appreciating perennials yet tired of pulling weeds and edging..let Ma nature fill in her own gaps..it's still glorious!
