So, it's time to say farewell to Summer.
This week, geese have begun gathering in large flocks and flying overheard.
Black birds have begun gathering in wild flower fields, eating seeds, flapping wings together in a black mass and moving over a few feet to gorge themselves on more seeds, gathering strength for winter.
The squirrels have been ravaging our bird feeder this week.
A skunk has begun digging a hole against the side of my house and using another area as his or her toilet.
School is about to begin and with it, a new harried schedule. And another missed chance at seeing my Babcia this year.
So, farewell Summer and all the wonders you bring.
A pregnant spider on our little "pond"...
Fossil hunting on the beach...
Swimming into the lake to grab plants for the simple joy (we released them back into the lake before going home)...
Wild flowers...
Snakes (Garter snakes are not poisonous and are an important part of the ecosystem)...
And dirty bare feet...
What will you miss with Summer's departure?
