I like the changes of the seasons also. We are slowly moving into fall here; cooler nights and warm (not hot!) days.

I love reading about all the things you will miss about summer, but also the new way of life and a different routine as Autumn arrives. I'm glad you finally had some rain! We had quite a bit of rain throughout August, as well as some very, very hot days. September has been beautiful with bright sun, crisp air, and cool nights. Today it is raining here in New England but the weather is mild. Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Bring on the storm season, hopefully over here as well. I love watching the results when the garden gets a big soaking.
