Summer, oh summer
You skipped in quite late
and left us in haste
and now we are left to ponder
Will you reappear
when winter is near
and cause us once more to wonder….
Summer, oh summer.
Hint: Read this ode as if you are a Beatnik giving a reading at the local coffee house…or as Mike Meyers in So I Married An Axe Murderer…

It’s hotter than all get out here. It can gladly go quickly after the last four or five days. But the minute it does I want it back. This was excellent. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Ellen, what a beautiful mosaic! Loved your beatnik poem too! laurie
Well, today made me think that summer might wish to hang on just a bit longer.
Oh, such pretty pinks! LOL…I love your ode, and today’s weather agrees with you….however, we’re expecting back into the 90’s for the weekend and beyond.
Love the ode, amazed at the heron picture!
Happy Fall! It was a very strange summer here in WA! I’m looking forward to a beautiful Fall though.
Great photos Ellen..love the pinks.
I do welcome Autumn..I love the changing of the colors.
I’ve been feeling like summer left us out this year…
But let’s welcome September with quiet evenings, and more time for reflection.
It’s finally starting to hit Indian Summer here today after being sooo cold. Your pics make me want summer all over again.
I tagged you if you feel like doing a meme. :v)
It’s nice to be on this side of summer. The days ahead look like they will be warm and lovely! The garden is slight..but not a matter to worry about.
