on a purple flower - adamantly hanging on... regardless of the fact september has now settled in - september... i am appalled... boo!

the months simply continue to whiz by - barely slowing down to allow us to breathe... i remember as a kid thinking i had all this time - it would last forever... the days were soooo long, weren't they? do you recall that, too? now look what's happened... they fly by - i find myself asking "where does the time go"... how funny is that...

now it will feel like a scramble... as fall comes rushing in - winter soon to follow... i'll be on the hunt more and more for the last vestiges of summer time color... flowers hanging on, refusing to give up the ghost - this was one i found on the hillside out back... waving to me in my favorite purple - which made for...

a

happy day.....
