Putting away Summer



Well I think today might just be one of the last warm days of our Indian Summer. I have this feeling in my bones that I need to take all my beautiful flowers to the covered back porch, for some frost protection, so that I may enjoy them just a little longer. I saw the golden rod a few weeks ago, and the wives tale says with in weeks of seeing the golden rod there will be frost.
Now I am not complaining about the weather we have been having, it has been glorious, but it too must go. I have already begun to see some Sugar Maple trees start to turn. The ones I saw were a most beautiful crimson and yellow, also the hickory trees have already turned yellow.
So on this fair Sunday I am on my way outside to decorate for Halloween and to put my lovely summer flowers on the back porch. Fear not readers the flowers will return next April in all their stunning glory, until then though I will remember how they looked this past summer
