i heard the wind call out and say,

get up my dear, it is today!”

It has already started to get dark earlier in the evenings here. The drought is making the leaves fall early too. It has been a very ‘different’ summer in England this year.
Best wishes, Pete.

Is it really the middle of summer? Bear wants to know if we’re really half done with this. Her attitude toward summer is pretty grim…. Beautiful photo.
