I haven't even been kayaking this summer, which is disgraceful. And yes, I do believe I can see the face of Jesus in the stinging nettle! ;)<br /><br />Fran, I bet you have a great collection of frogs in your lovely pond. <br /><br />Willie, CONGrATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! But I'll pass on the nettle tea...<br /><br />Aileen, the days are getting shorter and there's less time to be outside in the evenings now before dark. SIgh! It was getting dark when we were walking the dogs after supper tonight. Time to dig potatoes!Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-89582167914798448012011-08-19T23:16:26.768-04:002011-08-19T23:16:26.768-04:00Ah, my first thought was stinging nettle but the l...Ah, my first thought was stinging nettle but the leaves looked narrow and I hadn't seen those whacked-out blooms. I recognize it in my garden when it's younger! Anyway, I was wary enough not to touch it so my sixth sense must have realized it was stinging nettle.<br /><br />Jams, I love that pond. I am looking forward to it being aerated one day so it's not so full of green sludge and duckweed. <br /><br />Evlyn, I always feel like fall slips in the back door around here. It's still August and you think it's summer, but things are changing all around us and the nights are cooling off!<br /><br />AHab, my pleasure!<br /><br />Michele, I want summer to last longer! My tomatoes are still green!Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-72713001678169560152011-08-18T07:19:18.110-04:002011-08-18T07:19:18.110-04:00I'm not ready for Autumn yet either although w...I'm not ready for Autumn yet either although we do get a good crop of brambles around here in September : ) we found lots of wild raspberries this summer. Your black ones look interesting. Looks like a lovely relaxing walk Natalie : ) We need to get out and enjoy our own area while the summer is still here. Our kids are back to school now and it's too easy to slip into a routine and forget to make the most of the nice evenings.Aileen Clarke Craftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295960962493554673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-34556879201388504052011-08-17T20:58:43.549-04:002011-08-17T20:58:43.549-04:00Deb, it's hard watching them slow down, isn...Deb, it's hard watching them slow down, isn't it?

In a way I'm looking forward to hot-soup weather but the summer has flown far too quickly this year. Definitely not ready for snow.<br /><br />I think you could sell some of those photos for the big bucks on eBay. Just tell people that if they look closely they can see Jesus. : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-66462912781814139122011-08-16T14:39:08.950-04:002011-08-16T14:39:08.950-04:00Shhhhh!

This time of year is so interesting because everything feels so ripe (like your blackberries) and the transition gives us some residual summer with a gentle intimation of fall. The best of both. Very evocative pictures of your walk and your meditation on fall coming!Evlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10119886070700514303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-47451768966625751782011-08-16T13:13:31.794-04:002011-08-16T13:13:31.794-04:00A shame to see autumn come so soon Knat.

Ragweed is out in full force now and Kane is allergic to it. He will have itchy feet, paws, snout. It's awful. We have to medicate him until the first frost. Benedril for kids. I also have to keep him out of it on our walks. Nice pics. Hugs, Deb=^..^=x4Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06817710263282488135noreply@blogger.com
