" The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning. The weeks that come before are only a climb from balmy spring, and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn, but the first week of August is motionless, and hot. It is curiously silent, too, with blank white dawns and glaring noons, and sunsets smeared with too much color. Often at night there is lightning, but it quivers all alone. "

Your flowers are lovely! Mine need care, I’ve been neglecting them.
Jo, I hope you enjoyed some of those climbing days to this first week of August. With children going back to school so soon...it seems summer is ending. Our local weather man said with his kids going back to school...it's the most wonderful time of the year. LOL Sure is pretty around your place. Blessings, stay cool, xoxo, Susie
That wheel looks like a buggy wheel. Your flowers are so beautiful. You have different colors of my flowers and I do like them. You take great photos.
Love your gardens!
