A quick tribute to the waning hours of summer: In the past few days, I’ve heard so many people mention that the seasons—-not any particular one, just the mere fact that they exist and they change—-are the one of the best reasons to live in the mid-Atlantic.
So in that spirit, a commemoration, of all the sweat and steamy humidity, wildflowers, picnics and tromps, foliage, dusty bare feet, and those sweet, bountiful fruits we should be canning, freezing, and fermenting like crazy right now. 
I’m wringing every last drop out of these days.
See you in autumn.

Beautiful. this is my equinox mantra: “Finish each day (season) and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day (and a new season); you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
Isn’t that Emerson? We are so on the same page, admired-thinkers-wise :) But I agree. To everything a season, yes?
Yes. It is! :) to the Emerson, and the seasons.
These photos are gorgeous! I really love the first one with the berry dyed hands, so great!
Love this, and love Kelsey’s response. Most of all, love that image of berry-stained hands: the colors pop marvelously.
Celia & Kimberley: That one is one of my favorite pictures from the whole summer! We made mulberry wine, and your hands get entirely sticky and stained in the process.
Beautiful photos! So summery. Sigh.
Thanks, Katherine!
gorgeous photos as usual! We had a giant spider in our yard last year. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of cooler weather here but no luck yet! Make sure you get pictures of fall color for all of us in Texas :)
If only you knew how excited I am for fall color… you’ll be sick of it by December :) It has yet to cool off here, too, if it makes you feel any better.
seasons are what I miss most, now that I live in the subtropics. that October chill, falling | turning | crunching leaves, the first snowfall, the first robin reappearing …
sigh.
though I do like being able to garden year-round. I must say. :)
