Last time we chatted I mentioned I saw school busses.
This week I’m proud to say our town is welcoming our returning college students.
Last Day of August
Welcome In Friends… Tomorrow it will be September. I guess we can say Summer is almost over and Autumn is right around the corner. The humidity finally broke for us yesterday! Hallelujah!
Fun still can be had though! We had the lake all to ourselves …because everyone was back in school!
Autumnal Feels
No words are necessary…
August Blooms
Even though Fall is coming …these blooms are still performing strong!
Troubling Times
I can’t finish this post without mentioning that our thoughts and prayers are with our Nation and our World. And for our families who have lost loved ones…
It’s been a troubling week. Stay safe my friends…
Lovely pictures, Nancy and my prayers are joining with yours. <3 Xxx
Thank you!
It is certainly a beautiful day in your neighborhood, and I envy you the lake without lots of visitors. Yes, the turkeys should make a run for it because the holidays are approaching. It seems like August just started and poof it is over. You are right about the thoughts and prayers. There are so many people being challenged by the times and the environment. Have a good run up to the Labor Day weekend when I suspect your lake will be busy, busy.
Thank you Judy!
Happy last day of August, indeed, Nance! I liked taking the trip to Edinboro U! Thank you very much.
Thank you so much Mr. Mark!
¡Adios muchachos muchachas! Beautiful photos. It is a sad time for a lot of families.
Thank you Tim!
It’s beautiful in your world! Isn’t a relief about the humidity breaking? It was grim in Michigan, too. Everything is so pretty. There is something almost magical and mystical about a perfectly calm lake.
Thank you so much!
The photo of the lake with the cloud reflections in the water is so stunning Nancy! I love your Tartan Plaid collection, go Scots! Beautiful blooms too…yes prayers for everyone effected by the world’s chaos and Hurricane Ida…

Thank you dear friend!
Lovely pics and thoughts. Enjoy every moment. Have a lovely rest of August and a more beautiful September.
Thank you!
I join you in praying, Nancy. Your photos of the lake are spectacular. How fun to have it all to yourself. Lots of beauty in your neighborhood. Our temps and humidity are supposed to drop when the rain from Ida leaves. Happy Tuesday!
It really lloks like autumn is coming your way. Here, it’ll be some time, still. I love the serenity of the lake, now without (many) people out on it. Oh and fantastich pictures of the roses! 🙂
Thank you Pit!
I can’t believe it’s already the end of August. Where did summer go? Your flowers look beautiful, Nancy.
Thank you Chris!
beautiful beginning of Fall on your lake. I can see it. And to to think all the kids are settled back into school . The flowers are beautiful Donna
Thank you Donna!
And yes…heart wrenching for the families of the fallen this week.
As always, Nancy, lovely photos and thoughts. 🙂
Thank you!
“The goldenrod is yellow. The leaves are turning brown.” Your post reminds me of the poem from my childhood. Your pictures are beautiful, and my favorite is the last one with your vase of fresh cut flowers. Enjoy the quiet on the lake. I join you in praying for the families of those killed in Afghanistan, whether our military or the many civilians, and for those who have not yet been afforded passage back to the U.S. The whole situation is so sad.
Thank you.
Nancy, the lake looks beautiful! What a wonderful place to spend the day. As always, your blooms are so pretty. Wishing you a blessed week ahead, sweet friend!
Thank you Shannon!
I agree – Goodbye August, HELLO September (and spring for us down under). My garden is already ‘springing’ into life and I can hardly wait to share photos. The lake looks lovely all still and calm – I guess you’ll be sad to leave (sort of, knowing what you love about your Arizona abode).
Thank you Clare!
Your photos of the lake and the flowers are gorgeous Nancy! Enjoy the calm lake and cooler (?) temps.
Thank you so much for your visit!
You do have a lovely location to spend the summer with that beautiful lake. Love that white rose with pink trim.
Thank you!
