Goodbye to Summer

"What dreadful hot weather we have!
It keeps me in a continual state of inelegance."
~Jane Austen   

While being out and about yesterday, I noticed the temperature

on my car registered 104 degrees at one point. 

"Carpe Diem" does not mean "fish of the day."

 ~Author Unknown 

No, and this fish isn't a carp either.  ;-)

"God has sown his name on the heavens in glittering stars; 

but on earth he planteth his name by tender flowers."

~Jean Paul Richter

This is not my flower and I do not know what the name of it

is.  I must say that I'm about ready to give up on the fight

to keep my flowers alive.  Some have already made the 

decision for me.  It's nearly Fall and time to think about

mums and pumpkins.  

“Butterflies are self propelled flowers.”
~ R.H. Heinlein

"Summer's lease hath all too short a date."
~William Shakespeare

This has been a very hot and dry summer for us, but much

too short nevertheless.  It's that time of year when we like to

take our vacation.  So, I will be taking a blog break and

will return the week of September 15 unless I decide to pop

in before then.  I will try to stop in and see what everyone is

up to from time to time, but I may not have time

for commenting or posting.  Don't forget me while I'm gone!  

Take care and I'll see you when I return!

Until next time...
