When the Hibiscus finally dance
having patiently waited their turn,
When the Foxglove nod sleepily in the warmth of the afternoon sun,
When the Bittersweet begins to show its colors,
When you can smell the corn tasseling
When the Hibiscus finally dance
Beautiful pictures and words. So glad to see you back.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post and somehow very calming. ^^
ReplyDeleteYou paint a pretty picture and so poetically said. You have a great variety of Hibiscus. I can see Summer coming to an end so quickly.
ReplyDeleteThis morning I had a cool breeze coming in my bedroom window and the hot humid air was gone. It felt so good.
Take care and have a great weekend.
Hugs, Julia
I ditto everything everyone else said!!! You do have a way with words.
ReplyDeleteOh, what beautiful hibiscus. Are they annual or perennial? My girlfriend has beautiful perennial ones, but I have mostly seen annuals. That first one takes my breath away it’s so pretty. Fall….I am ready. While your country side looks lush at tge end of summer, ours looks crisp from the heat. Despite plenty of rain, if it doesn’t rain at least every other day, we are so dry. Thanks for the lovely post!!
ReplyDelete“You can smell the corn tasseling” Thank you
ReplyDeleteOh how very beautiful! I love August when the summer starts to wind down. Thank you for putting it into words and photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures ! I am ready for Fall ....too much Humidity , rain & mosquitoes & weeds & heat !!!! I can't wait to wear a sweater !!!
ReplyDeleteHow beautifully you capture in words and images the ebbing of Summer into Autumn. Fall is such an invigorating time and the heat of the
ReplyDeletepast months makes it even more welcome. Your green thumb is evident
in the glorious flowers and that hydrangea is stunning. Cannot look
at foxgloves without thinking of Tasha Tudor's annual feast. Thank
you for today's entry.
Such beautiful pictures! This time of year everything here looks so brown and tired. I love how restful and green everything is in your pictures. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful place to live.
I love your illustrated poem. "The churring of crickets," I love that line so much. I feel tears pricking behind my eyes! You have a God-given talent with words.
ReplyDeleteHey, there you are, amongst the blooms. I adore that blushing Hydrangea. Our garden is a jungle and has been since we bought the house, but we are turning our attention to it. Now the house renovation is finished after four long years. Today i have been painting railings, one day I'll be planting and nurturing my favourite flowers and plants. Until then we'll try and make the best of what the garden has to offer.

Soothing, lovely, dammit. I am sweating like a banshee and prefer that to sweatshirts.
ReplyDeleteMark takes me for country rides to see the fields and peace of nature, I would much rather view it from my own porch. Nothing but greens and blues, yet creates calm. Maybe because there is no human around.
Hope days are better.
Lovely, Yes she is packing her bags a little more quickly that I like

Welcome back friend! Your post with it's lovely pics and poetic words made me smile. Yes, summer is packing her bags and I hope she leaves with the heat and humidity as I'm looking forward to the color burst of Fall!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! You’re an artist of picture and words! There’s a scent in the air too, one I’ve not been able to identify, you can smell it in late summer even on the hottest day and you know Fall is arriving.
ReplyDeleteMy personal favs are your bittersweet and the Canada geese. ♥️
Lovely pics and words. Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteYou sound good- we all need to wallow in the good

What a beautiful post! No doubt Summer is on the way out the door, but seems to be hanging on a little longer. Your pictures and words tell it so well.
ReplyDeleteLove this post Robin, what gorgeous hibiscus! We don't have any but after seeing your pictures I think I'll have to change that. We have a burst of color here at the end of summer but nothing like yours! So glad to see you back! Jan in MA
