The change always comes about mid-August, and it always catches me by surprise. I mean the day when I know that summer is fraying at the edges, that September isn't far off and fall is just over the hill or up the valley. ~Hal Borland

The lawn had its hair cut yesterday and for today is laundry and dusting day.
We are at 62 for the temp this morning and just might get to 70. Loving these cooler days while it lasts. Have a glorious day what ever you plan to do. For me my plan is to get my household duties done and then sit back and have another cup of one of many favorite flavored coffees I enjoy, while finding another piece to the puzzle. Smiles Gloria

A beautiful day to you. Just had to share this picture of the bachelor button plants. I use to have them many years back in the flower gardens. A dear friend gave me some seeds to plant this summer. Looking forward to seeing them once again in the flower garden. Wonder if there is a poem for the bachelor buttons for they are such a smilie flower . Think I will look into that thought. May you have a relaxing weekend. Smiles Gloria
