In honor of the last day of summer (sniff, sniff…waahhhhh), I decided to share some of the photos that speak to the sunny side of life at the ranch and are sure to warm you like the wool mittens and ear-flap cap that will soon become a fashionable staple of my wardrobe.
I am sure I will be revisiting these pictures many times in the coming months, because come December, I tend to forget…
…what colors really look like…
…the smoky taste of brats and beans on a tiny grill…
…the warm wind in my face (or the fact that one day, I will be able to drive with the windows down again)…
…the sweet smell of wildflowers…
…the thrill of the first splash in big Lake Sakakawea…
…well, maybe “thrilling” isn’t the word of choice for all of us…
…the drama of the horizon…
…and the true meaning of “dog days”…
Enjoy the last day of the season everyone. I think I’ll celebrate by wearing my swimming suit and short shorts under my long pants, flannel and fluffy socks. Then I’ll eat some cookies. Lots and lots of cookies….
Goodbye summer…I miss your face already.
Sniff, sniff…
Oh, I miss summer already too!! Thanks for sharing those awesome pics……..!
I’m hoping for a very long fall. Fall and spring are my favorite seasons, and we rarely have a spring that lasts for more than a day, and doesn’t come until June, so I’ve got all my fingers, toes and eyes crossed hoping for a long fall.
oh, me too, me too. Despite my complaining, I consider fall a wonderful season…just a little too short in these parts.
I especially loved the first photo – beautiful! They all were, of course:) Hope life is well in your part of this earth. God bless!
Autumn is my favorite season and I’m so glad it is here. I can officially say it today since today makes it offical. Although it pretty much started over the past weekend. I love the lack of humidity. The cooler air, the increased wind, the rain/wind storm that are energizing but less likely to produce tornado’s than the spring storms, the darker skies. Autumn is the best. Spring is second best. Only because by February I want the sun back and I’m sick of wearing coats.
AWESOME…Just AWESOME!!!!!
