Savoring & Reflecting


 I am savoring the last few days of summer as well as reflecting on the past few months.  It seems like we were just turning the calendar to June and now it is September.


The hummers are still here but soon they will fly away to their winter home.







  

Enjoying the wonderful crop of tomatoes that continue to ripen.  Putting some away for the coming months.  It is wonderful to open a jar  and be reminded of sun-kissed days when cold blustery ones visit.





 As the days grow shorter will be spending more evenings reading.    It is wonderful to cozy up with something hot to drink and have a good book nearby.






May each of you find some time to savor and reflect the passing of this season.


Also hope you will join me in looking up and reflecting on all those who lost their lives or loved ones 22 years ago.  

God Bless

Debbie

  3. What a great post. I saw a lot of reflections on blogs about the month of August. I can't manage to do it, but I think I just live one day at a time consciously, and that's okay too. It's now 8:05 PM here, and the sun has set. It will soon start to get dusky and darker. I can tell that summer is coming to an end.

    God Bless,

  4. Your homegrown tomatoes are so big and ripe, Debbie. There are so many wonderful things to make with them, or just eating plain with salt is delicious. It's nice that you have lots of books to read this Fall. Haven't read a good book in awhile, as the font in books is always too small for me. I think that's why I appreciate the bigger font in children's books. ; )

    Have a good September week. It's always nice coming to visit you, and seeing what's happening in your world.
