Adieu

Nodding golden halo-crown,

Petals wrapped in dressing-gown

Curtsy low and, praying, bend

To usher in the Summer’s end.

    Waaaaahhh, it’s over! I have a similar one coming up!

      *sigh* I have been conscious this summer of enjoying all that it had to offer – as a consequence, I feel like I had a GREAT summer. But it is hard to let go of nice weather when I know what is ahead. Lessons all around…

      1. Fig Tree Chance

        Yes, lessons–and I’m sure I’d be more troubled, if I had your winter to look forward to. I’m grateful ours are usually mild. I’m so glad you had a Great summer–that’s wonderful.

        Nah; just woolly ones.

        Oh, my. I’m so sorry to read of your trials!! I rejoice with you that Corey is recovering – please, please ensure that you are looking after yourself now in the ‘lull’ after the storm. Guard your heart Heidi! Prayers are coming your way!
