☀farewell summertime

The leaves on the mountain are starting to change colors, the colors are beautiful,

but with it comes change. The mornings and evenings are cooler.

There is a feeling of sadness knowing that that Summer will never come again,

I know Summer will come again,

but the Summer when Maren turned 5 and Hazel was 2 1/2 is gone.

Is it too much to ask for things to stand still, just once.

Please!!!

With the sadness comes excitement about the seasons to come, like Fall nature walks,

leaf crafts, pumpkin cookies. I guess it comes down to feelings of gratitude.

I am blessed to be here on earth to experience change and

the love of family and friends.
