Between seasons



I went for a walk in the neighbourhood tonight to fix in my mind  the changes that are beginning to happen. I pay little attention to the start of school now but I still think about cycling the Silver Triangle  on the long weekend in September. I think about how I wanted to squeeze as much out of the weekend as I could before heading back to the classroom.

I feel a little like that tonight,  as if I’ve been treading water this summer, not one hike, only a few bike rides, and one camping trip. No really good reason for not having made more of the summer. Somehow I lacked the motivation to get out and do things and now the summer is winding down.

It’s a strange time. Summer isn't gone and fall isn't here. We wait in between.

 
Wearing shorts at dusk


Many flowers are blooming.




 
Streetlights come on earlier


Leaves are beginning to turn.

Fruits are ripening.


Flowers are going to seed


and apparently so are some houses

To everything there is a season.
