August ...


It always amazes me how quickly the world around me changes!  It never seems to fail ... August hits and magically, over night, there are significant changes!  One begins to notice that the days are getting shorter, the landscape has suddenly taken on a mixture of green and golden hues and you missed saying 'have a good winter' to those little birds that have already begun migrating south!  Have you noticed any Tree Swallows lately? ... ours are gone ... Tree Swallows head for the south in August!  No, summer is still here ... but changes are happening.  These little 'pussytoes' (Antennaria parvifolia) were just starting to bloom on June 20th (The LAST Day of Spring post).  Well, they've set seed and their season is done.
