August is winding down and today is a little cooler.
September has nearly arrived and here at Kat's Corner we are ready for it.
Summer, at least here in the south, will hang on for quite a bit longer but in the Rocky Mountains, where I grew up, September is the beginning of autumn. I keep thinking about it and remembering what it felt like to be a kid, half dreading, half longing for, the start of school.
Do you remember? Time for "one last" swim at the pool, or "one last" day of tubing in the irrigation ditch.
Taking "one last" trip up to Pineview Dam or Lagoon, the local amusement park.
Well, this hopefully won't be our last trip to the mountains this year, but all the nostalgia is making me want to share my appreciation for this last stretch of summer.
The first five pictures are from our last trip up to Heintooga Round Bottom Road.
I love this last one, it shows why they are called the "Blue Ridge Mountains".
This little guy is much closer to home. The picture (taken by my Sweet Hubby) was taken in our yard. I framed it in black to show it off a bit more. Can you see the lizard?
This is my latest work in progress.
It is celebrating Summer too.
What will you miss most about Summer?
