Heartstrings




Summer is quietly turning into fall....
It
  slipped away so fast
but 
wasn't it lovely?

Oh
so very hot and yet so very lovely !

I  gathered 
as
many of summer's small moments as my heart could hold
and 
tied them with a heartstring
so
 I could  remember
them
 on long cold winter nights.

lovely zinnias

my Alfie
sweetest summer bird count report ever
just so pretty
summer smiles to you

Heartstrings
the things that ... so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart ...

Smiles,

Dottie

    You did have a wonderful summer. Didn't Alfie strike the perfect pose? Zinnias are my favorites because they just go like gangbusters then seed themselves for next year.

    You had a wonderful summer especially because you took the time to notice it and not let it rush by. You seem to savor each moment and I appreciate that about you as I read your blog! I hope you enjoy a long and gorgeous fall!

    What a lovely post! I love the artsy bird count, that was wonderful!!

    The last photo a gift from God.

    Happy Fall ~ I hope we will have cooler temps soon, although we've still got September to get through yet and it can be rather hot and humid then.

    Love and hugs ~ FlowerLady

    Such a lovely way to remember summer. Right now it is very hot here and I am looking forward to cooler weather. But summer is always a special time.

      But if it werent for summer there would be no Tomatoes hanging on the vine or Black eyed Susans nodding their heads in the sun, right? Love the four Seasons!

    Hi Dottie!
    I'm so sorry to be so tardy in coming by to thank for your very sweetest of comments regarding my husbands diagnosis --- thank you thank you thank you for being so very dear and kind.

    I love all of your summer memories! What charming and heart tugging ones they are. Is that your granddaughters bird list? So precious.

    Happy week to you and enjoy grabbing those last remaining days of summer,
    Sally
