Good-Bye Summer

I am saying
Good-Bye
to
Summer
this weekend~
I love the changing of seasons...
Good-Bye long lazy golden
days...
Hello Autumn!
I welcome you with open arms
in brisk morning air~
Do you realize
our lives are like seasons,
forever changing...
as we walk through the chapters
of life?
Doors closing, doors opening
as time goes by....
Have the BEST last
weekend of Summer
EVER my darling ones!!

  5. Oh, I so love the changing seasons, Janet, and Autumn is a lovely one and always reminds me of my son's wedding.as he got married last October. Love your sentiments...That corridor that we're walking through is getting a bit short, now, for me !!!! The doors are closing but there aren't so many up ahead !!!!
    Wonderful post Janet, no change there !!! XXXX

  7. I am right there with you this weekend! I awoke during the night to heavy rain (which we desperately needed) and this morning is cool and gray. I will take it! I think I will put on some layers and head to the Saturday market for some produce to make a wonderful stew for this evening~
    Have a lovely long weekend my friend,
    xx

  11. Every season has its perks. Wish I had an outdoor fireplace (I'll always regret the French one that got away at a Napa concrete yard...). The roses still bloom and the golden leaves scatter along the roadway. When the kids were young we'd head to Sebastapol and buy every apple variety we could get our hands on. XO Trish

  13. Although you make a lovely case for the welcoming of Autumn, I'm just not ready!

    I'm going to hold on tight to these last glorious weeks of our SF Indian Summer!

    Much love and autumn happiness to you, sweet Janet!

    Bisous,
    Melissa

  14. I'm not ready yet either, although you make it sound pretty good. But we still have Indian Summer on the way, so there's time to linger in between. xoc
