Lingering

I can feel fall in the air

but

 I have determined to linger for as long as I can in summer.

At this moment

I am planting my fall garden with greens and more greens.

We southerners love our greens!

wanting to make the Kale chips like I saw at the farmers' market

amazed at how lovely the color is of the morning glories that took 101 days to bloom

watching the tiny but surprisingly competitive hummingbirds at the feeder

thinking about how just right sweet oranges and hot chocolate taste early in the morning

excited about going to the Round Rock Antique Festival

finding the box of vintage holiday decorations I put away two years ago

relaxing in the bubbly spa lazily looking up into the lovely dark sky at my old friends the moon and stars

picnicing at the beach even thought the wind and the waves are already cold

sometimes not doing much of anything but content to live in this moment
at this time in my life

cold wind and waves

lovely purple petals

lost and found

lingering

hello old friend

At this moment I am content to linger in the daylight

following it into nightfall when at that magic time the stars come out

and

the moon is near.
