SUNDAY- September 25, 2011
This morning after a damp week, the day began foggy. I assumed it was going to be cold out. SURPRISE! Hot and humid… a last reminder of summer!
SUNDAY- September 18, 2011
The days are definitely getting cooler. Friday was 47 degrees F. Saturday was 67 degrees F. And today is 62 degrees. While sunny, it is definitely a change from two weeks ago. The fields are browner, the golden rod is hanging on and the fall asters of purple and pink, with the smaller white fluffy asters are blooming. Gardens are showing their last colors, as the trees start to color up. The tourists are fewer, things seem calmer. The frenetic pace of summer is over.
SUNDAY- September 11, 2011 On this 10th anniversary of the 9/11/01 terrorist attack, people seem to be looking back and forward, and all around. As we remember what happened, and honor those who died, and those who spent the time after it helping out… the rescue crews, fireman, police, dogs, and everyday people, we also seem to still be waiting for the other shoe to drop. We pray it does not. We hope to move forward. There does not seem much to add to the many news programs, magazine articles, or newspaper columns that have been produced, except to say “God Bless America”. Which leads one to remember the song we all sang in grade school…
As we move into September signs of fall are all around us. Leaves are beginning to turn, and while the days are warm, nights are dropping into the ’50’s (F.). Fall is coming…
Well, Irene is coming- rain all night, and now windy! The curtains were stuck against the windows, as the storm is coming in from the east. Today she is south of New York, a category 1 storm, and is moving at 18 miles/hour- so not very fast.
August is more than half way through- though still summer, fall is in the air… lots happening for us all as schedules change and thoughts rearrange.
Well, one has to admit when one plays hookey. And, truth to tell, I did this week. Read the first installment about it:
A Down East Summer Trip.
How often the days seem to take on a life of their own! Plans for shooting pics of fabrics to list today have been blown up! At 7 am this morning some contractors showed up to rip off some rotten corner boards on the end of the kitchen. As I work off of the kitchen counter this is not a happy thing! Had an appointment this morning that got me out of the house, but now, there isn’t any excuse to leave!
