10 September


sunflower season 'round here



I am watching the sun come up over the Atlantic as I type

A big orange ball reflecting in the silvery water

sunflowers are seeding out

and crows caw in the morning light



the school bus stops outside my windows to gather the teenagers

who go over the causeway, off island, to the highschool in the neighboring town

mums in the marketplace

cheery yellow, mauve, creamy white

pots of them on the porch

and vases gracing the dining room table


Autumn is slowly slipping in

Welcome home my favorite season

  1. I am ready for the heat to give way and a true New England fall to take hold! Enjoy the sunrise!

  4. Beautiful!!!! I couldn't agree more, this is my most favourite time of year. Jus popping over today to respond to your lovely comment on my blog. You are so lucky to live near Boston - and I know tickets to the BSO are for sure not inexpensive. How about Berklee? Concerts put on by the student ensembles there would be superb and be much more affordable. Our local University offers free concerts every Friday and the kids are amazing. I love the area of the US that you are from - we try to travel there every few years to stay in Maine.
    You have a beautiful blog!

  8. Gorgeous! You words make me excited for autumn. I planted a few varieties of sunflowers over summer that have finally bloomed. I have been slowly de-seeding them to store for next year.
