Sweet Peas and Sweet Corn

Its almost over  . . . . summer.  

I shall use this garden as a paint box, palette and canvas  - Richard Page

Sweet peas and sweet corn, big juicy red tomatoes, farmer 's markets, sudden thunderstorms, blessed rains, butterflies and bumble bees, tender twilights and the hum of cicadas.

Before it all goes away,  take time to savor the end of summer.  Like so many endings, sadness and satisfaction go hand in hand. Heres to those garden classics still hanging on, still giving pleasure and still coloring my world.  

Butterflies and late summer zinnias- perfect partners.

Bountiful blooms to cut for bouquets

Late summer annuals are a riot of bold and happy colors

Good morning from this blue beauty

Here's to remembering the smells and the colors when the snow covers it all up.

Sweet is all I can say - So Sweet!!!!
