The Last Month Of Summer

 Summer is going by so fast! So here are a few summery things our neighborhood has in their yards. The first three are all at the same house.




The next two are our next-door neighbor's flags.



And three different front yards.




🐸 “The frogs grow quiet, the fireflies dim—summer bows out with a glittering grin.”

 

🐸 The frogs no longer sing at noon,

 their songs now saved for the harvest moon.

 Summer tiptoes out the door—

 barefoot, smiling, wanting more.

Great pictures and poems! I go by the meteorological calendar, so summer is over 2/3 over.

The end of August will be here so very soon....which most of us refer to it as the end of Summer...I don't remember me ever being so ready for Fall as what I am this year. Perhaps because I'm planning a trip in the Fall. Your photos do create sweet memories of Summer..

So many cute summery things in your neighbors' yards. I like the donkey with the red cart. And the bloom with kindness flag is delightful. Looking forward to Fall.

Cute items in people's yards. (where do they store the stuff out of season?)
I am looking forward to autumn! cooler weather and less humidity!
