I probably seem peculiar to many folks because of what I write. My summers are a nostalgic trip through a three month period of time with loads of jobs, activities and 'must-get-done' projects. And sometimes I question if anybody else really reads this kind of stuff. Nevertheless it's a macro-condensed version of my summer in pictures and words. I like to enhance my stories with lots of pictures so people can see what I'm talking about. And occasionally I goof up a sentence or two that even I can't quite understand. Summer traditionally begins around June 21 of each year. I like to think summer is a combination of June, July and August when most gardening ventures are in full swing. September (to me) is a wake-up call alerting me that Autumn is on the way; so get those pre-winter jobs done! But, while summer is still here I need to make use of, and enjoy every minute I can of it. This includes taking time to "slow down and smell the roses" and all the other natural beauty summer offers! How can anyone not?
I had not posted to my blog since early June of this year. Once I decide to post something I often get a 'little' carried away by adding too much 'stuff'! That's probably the case here with this post, and I doubt I'll get back with another until about Christmas 2016. That will wrap up the year. This is one of those days that I get a song 'stuck' in my head, and I wind up playing it to death! Case in point 'Gonna Find Me A Bluebird' which I remember from early teens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?... I know this has gone long enough, and I can now think of a dozen things to add. However, I know it is best to stop here! I must comment on the onion at left: It is 'Candy' and probably the largest one I've grown in several years (Photo Aug. 22,'16). Garden Onion (Allium cepa 'Candy') The picture at right was from July 29, 2016 showing a baby mantis which I could not resist. As stated before this is a "mini-macro" version of my summer 2016!
