The Sunday Morning Muse, August 3, 2008


This morning's muse: August
-
The local corn is ready. Vegetable stands are popping up around town with fresh tomatoes, peppers, cukes. Fresh peaches. Amish children with straw hats on the corner.
-
There's a whole aisle of school supplies in most stores. Fall sweaters for sale. The clouds are starting to look different. Puffier. (Oh no-not fall just yet!) The sky is brilliant blue.
-
The lilies are starting to die. (But I still got some nice pictures.) I bought mums for the front of the house. Sunflowers are looking great. The grass doesn't need cut as often. Butter flies and honeybees. Hummingbirds and crows. (And a three and half foot snake crawled into my garage yesterday, after getting sun in the street.)
-
Road crews and detours. The smell of tar and asphalt. Orange barrel capital of the world. Lots of motorcycles out. Concerts in the park. People washing cars. Yard sales.
-
Sitting on porches, drinking beer. Kids in pools. Lemonade.
-
Get out and enjoy it while it lasts.
