wandering around the yard in the not-quite-light. an early september morning after a long night of rain. the air is cool. i have nothing but my nightgown on. the wood of the porch floor is soaked and the clothesline is a string of water droplets. the crickets are constant and sound even louder than usual. as long as there are crickets there is summer. i've been arguing the last couple days with people who say that summer is over. but i know that as long as it's warm enough to be barefoot, walking through an early morning garden half-clothed with cricket sounds filling the air, there is still summer left.

Yes, I feel the same, I do not want to let go of summer and happily we are enjoying an Indian Summer at the moment.
ReplyDeletei think we'll have another few weeks!
DeleteAnd I say AMEN to that! We still have temperatures in the mid 100's here. My wish is for some rain and cool temperatures. :)
ReplyDeleterain is good. we had lots the other night, but now we're back to warm and sunny
DeleteHere we are "Downunder" waiting for that warmth to make it's way to our lawns, our porches and our beaches. Although I am a rainy day, cosy-up and read a good book kinda gal - I too have the little girl inside who longs to go beach combing or lie under a tree and find shapes in the clouds. We are off to the beach house this weekend. The forecast is promising - I will think of you and ice-cream and crickets. :-)
ReplyDeleteyes, you are welcoming spring soon, aren't you! have a wonderful beachy weekend. enjoy enjoy. and i'm glad to knoq there are crickets in australia.
DeleteOoops... completely forget to add that I'm "copying" your tattered linen clad window... well not copying but honouring rather... with a little linen vista of my own. Thank you for the inspiration. Xx
ReplyDeletefabulous!!! post pictures please.
DeleteI arrived in Germany yesterday, and after hearing everyone announce the end of summer expected to see fall. but it's still summer. on my side of the pond, too. late summer, but summer nonetheless!
ReplyDeletei hope it stays warm and pleasant for you!. have you reunited with your cats???
DeleteI am also a summer lover dear. I costs me to accept it's over.
ReplyDeleteIt helps with long walks in the autumn forest and some good applepie ;)
it's hard to watch it go, but you're right, autumn is a wonderful consolation.
Deleteenjoy your forest....
