Remember when you were little and you couldn’t wait for summer to arrive. When school finally got out it seemed like there were endless days to enjoy the beautiful warm weather of summer. Why is it now as an adult that summer just seems to slip through your fingers?
Being a gardener summer is full of things to do, getting the gardens ready, planting seeds, keeping ahead of the weeds, watering and then of course the harvest. As the weather warms up the spring flowers begin to flower – daffodils, forsythia, creeping phlox and then the iris. I try to take notice and enjoy the colorful blooms because soon they are gone, only to be replaced by different flowers such as the summer day lilies. One bloom after another and the summer hastens by.
This summer seems to be flying by faster than usual. I don’t know why but it may be because we have several trips planned. We also have weekends blocked for company coming to visit. Our home is still on the market, but there hasn’t been much interest. My husband is looking for work and we’re praying for a buyer for our home.
The days are full of various projects, some related to the house sale and some projects that just need to be finished like the twin bed safe stripping project!
With each day that passes we move closer to the fall. I love the different seasons and enjoy them all. As summer flies by I am trying to enjoy each day, who knows this may be our last summer living in Vermont!

Time and seasons certainly seem to pass faster as one gets older! I hope you enjoy the rest of summer and that you get a buyer soon!

I really do notice this summer slipping by too, Nancy, especially as we haven’t had a lot of summer-y weather. It will soon be time to look forward to fall. Thinking of you during this time of transition and hoping you will soon be moving forward 🙂 Thank you for sharing this thoughtful post with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop.
