Saying Goodbye To Summer

I love summer, but alas it is time to say goodbye to summer for another year.
Time to close the pool, 
pack up the patio furniture, and clean out the gardens.
It's so sad to look outside from my desk and see the cover on the pool,
to see my potted plants and vegetables dying off.
The groundhog still visits every day, he is still enjoying the foliage on the dying
cucumbers, vegetables and my dill.
We had to cover the dill again, 
we have at least 10 more caterpillars and at least as many eggs on the dill.
That means, 
it's going to be a full house in the butterfly cages this winter.


We did pretty well on the summer bucket list, 
and even though we didn't get to everything, that is never the goal. 
The goal is to have fun and we sure did that!!

Now it's time for this...

I’m going to try a bucket list this fall, Debbie. Getting it on paper and working through the list will be fun! Thanks for the idea! Good luck with yours, you two!

Hello, you did knock off a lot on your summer bucket list. I am looking forward to seeing what happening in the fall. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend.

It looks as though you were able to cross off a lot of items from your summer bucket list. Happy that you both had a nice summer!
P.S. You still have time for one more......The Sunflower Event at Holland Ridge runs through October 27th. I'll be there next Thursday with a local Flower Club......can't wait!! Hugs!!

Yes, definitely time to close things down outside. I promised my potted flowers that I was not watering them again.Guess what happened? We've had an abundance of rain, so these plants are still hanging on.

I love that you two have seasonal bucket lists!
I have seen Wood Ducks, but never one with that bright blue plumage. He is a handsome one.
