sunday morning

it's so nice to have cooler weather now. yesterday morning was grey and breezy and this morning the sun is shining but the air is comfortable and it's not humid. greg has been in florida where it's been unusually hot with 110 degrees. 

from tis the last rose of summer, by thomas moore

tis the last rose of summer
left blooming alone;
all her lovely companions
are faded and gone:
no flower of her kindred,
no rose-bud is nigh,
to reflect back her blushes,
or give sigh for sigh.

little bird on our wall this afternoon.

  1. Same here, we could finally sleep well again because it was cooler last night. Your poem reminds me of how fast time is moving on. We have five beautiful roses blooming, one for each child :). But pretty soon they will also fade away.

  2. P.S. Is Greg visiting his family? Not the greatest time to go to Florida.

    1. He's there for work and to visit his mom and dad. It's cooler there today, thankfully.

    3. We have cooler breezes again! I really thought the hot weather was here to stay all the way into August!

    4. Same here, almost cold at night. We closed the windows! I looked at the forecast for Indiana next week. It will be quite hot. I am glad my in-laws have air-conditioning when we are visiting for those days.
