The long, hot days are falling quickly behind us. I’ve
soaked in every last golden drop of summer. I would if I could, wish for a
never ending summer of lazy days by the pool, snow cones in a rainbow of colors
and late night visits with family and friends. I want to sit forever on the evening
porch, making out the sounds of summer’s nightfall; crickets and cicadas in
their musical chorus. And I’d continue to enjoy the affection of my children
who have nothing better to do than be kids all day long. This was the best
summer ever. I have savored every moment.
But the seasons are changing and it is time to welcome
fall with open arms. Sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes, forest walks, hay rides
and apple pies…the best of the new season is here and it makes saying good bye
to the summer of 2012 a little bit easier. I’m looking forward to leaves of red
and orange, when the hills of the mid-Atlantic look like they are on fire. I
enjoy the crisp air and blue skies and catching sight of my breath in the early
morning. I love the bountiful harvest and cinnamon scents that fill the air. I
want nothing more than to re-live my youth through the enthusiasm of my boys
jumping in piles of fallen leaves or
going door-to-door in search of sugary treasure. I am going to savor every
moment.
It was the best week ever as I wrapped up the season’s
end. I have started a new art project: COUNTDOWN to AUTUMN. I hope you follow
along as I produce twelve new pastel paintings as a celebration of the change
of seasons. How are you celebrating the change of seasons? How are you having
the best week ever?
Love the quotes! They're so very true :) Can't wait for the pastels!!!
