Letting Go



I have been thinking
maybe
I should let go of the tight hold I have on summer
and
 at that instant it ran away.....

It left in a thunderstorm
and
I think as a gift to me left a few warm and sunny days
well
maybe hot days......

Hummingbirds are zipping and dipping all over my garden
and
are at every feeder.


I wonder if it is because I planted this hummingbird bush last summer?


October's showers and soft sun kisses caused the sleepy heads to wake up!


Summer on my windowsill.


The glow of a Holy Candle in the night. 


My heart is filled with peace about the coming of  fall
but
I am not sure about winter.....

Smiles,
Dottie

  4. I guess we'll both just take it a day at a time. It's still warm here in Florida but the days are getting short already. I'll just get more candles out to enjoy! Sweet hugs to you! Happy Fall!

  5. I will miss the hummers, but I've left the feeder up lest some stragglers heading south need a boost. It is 90 here today but a front coming tomorrow. YAY! Our first fling with fall. I love fall, but it comes and leaves quickly up here and winter - no comment.

  6. I don't mind letting summer go at all, I am fatigued with the heat and dry weather. Over the years I have really begun to appreciate the charms of autumn.

  7. Dottie, your post is lovely. I'm not a summer person, so watching her leave doesn't sadden me in the least. Here in the south her heat can be oppressive. I love winter as I need the a time of hibernation. I hope you are having a joyful weekend.

  9. One step at a time... I had a hard time letting go of the summer I love too. But I am finding the autumn days are delicious. You have been a great friend to the hummingbirds. I'm sure that they will remember you.
