End of Summer Days

You know that warm saturated light that fills the late afternoons and evenings. Warming all it touches, deepening colors and filling everything with such magic. I love that light. I love what it does to things. How it changes the way that I see things. I love how my family looks as they run and play in it. The end of summer feels like this light all day long. And we are basking in it! Breathing it in. Filling it as best we can. Letting it wears us out in happy exhaustion.

The start of our first homeschool year is right around the corner. But today…today it is still summer. And quite frankly…even after “school” starts much of our days will be spent in the same wonderfully free exploration of this miraculous season…these “end of summer days”.

i love seeing photos of your garden. Ours is just starting on the windowsill in the sitting room and I'm hoping with summer yet around our corner, that we will grow tomatoes and basil as beautiful as yours :-) The seesaw looks like it is going up and down in the garden too! Imagine a seesaw in mint - to add that luscious fragrance to the golden light. It is still cold and wet here and yet the days are lengthening at a frantic rate. Enjoy your last days of summer!
