I went
back to look at the posting I wrote about the end of summer last year, and I am
going to sound like a broken record: Wasn’t it just a couple of days ago we
were at the Biltmore for the unveiling of the International Rose Trials
winners?
 |
| Miracle on the Hudson took top honors at beautiful Biltmore |
Then
wasn’t it just yesterday we headed out on a 10-day road trip in early June that
took us to Williamsburg, Virginia Beach, Cambridge, MD, Longwood Gardens and
DC?
 |
| The wild onions of Yorktown |
 |
| Another amazing Virginia Beach sunset |
 |
| American Pillar (a hybrid wichurana) at Longwood |
 |
| Mama Robin in DC |
 |
| I always feel like somebody's watching me |
So what
happened to the rest of the summer and how come next weekend ushers in Labor
Day?
Well, I
don’t have any answers. Once again summer seems to have evaporated.
 |
| My roses were spectacular (if I do say so myself) |
But at
least I have some wonderful photographs to remind me of the time that seemed to
go by as a blur.
Enjoy my
summer snapshots and join me in savoring the final days before we feel a nip in
the air.
Because
I am certainly not ready for mums, pumpkins and black cats.
 |
| Gorgeous wildflowers everywhere |
 |
| Bees were wild about the 86-bloom spray of Lyda rose |
 |
| Our hydrangeas died to the ground but these Annabelles survived |
 |
| The view from the mountaintop garden was just as spectacular |
 |
Golf was good
|
 |
| Goodbye summer :( |

Hi Lynn, goodness, I'm not ready to be writing off Summer yet, although today is grey, cool and rainy, the weather is expected to improve and return to being warm and sunny for the week. Just as well as I'm not ready to start putting up temporary greenhouses and fleecing plants. I don't know how long it's going to stay clement though as September is a month of change and the days are noticeably shorter now.
I remember September while living in the UK, Sunil! Needed a fan in the bedroom on night, a jacket the next. But I recall it as a very pretty month. Will be back again in September, 2015 for my husband's naval academy reunion!
Beautiful, beautiful pictures. I had to stop and marvel at each picture, they are really beautifully captured. Time is always passing by more quickly than ever. That is a sad reality.
