Macro Monday – Looking Forward to Spring

….even though we haven’t had much winter

The signs are out there that spring is just around the corner but I doubt that Winter is done with us just yet.

Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge – Summer’s End

….thanks to Sue W. and GC for hosting Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge https://weeklyprompts.com/2022/09/14/weekly-prompts-wednesday-challenge-summers-end/

September usually signals that summer is quickly coming to an end. During the day, however, the temperatures can still be blisteringly hot but the cooler breezes in the evening off the lake, the shorter days, pots of mums at the garden centres and children skipping off to school in the mornings clearly forecast that autumn is close at hand.

Summer’s end brings out the sweaters and sweatshirts for evening walks. Fewer people are playing at the lawn bowling club and for those who still come out the lights have to be turned on over the pitch so the bowlers aren’t playing in the dark. In the garden most of the vegetables have come to an end. The kale of course will continue to thrive well into late fall but the green tomatoes struggle to ripen on the vine. The leaves on the trees and shrubs are beginning turn colour and some have started to fall to the ground. The bees and the squirrels are busily stocking up their food stores and fattening up for winter.
