where has summer gone

after the last heat wave

it seems that someone just flipped the switch

and changed the season

the evenings are really cool now

and it has been so unusually wet for this time of year

the garden and all of its little inhabitants are appreciating the moisture

but I hope that the sun will shine for at least part of this upcoming long weekend

a time when a great many, here in ontario, plan their family vacations

It's been the same here too Margie, the sun has got lost behind the thunderstorms... but we still have the heat. So muggy today! I shall keep my fingers crossed that we both get a wee bit of sunshine this weekend.
Gorgeous pics, as ever... xx

I wish I could share the heat we're having, & the humidity (35 or 40%) level as well ! Sending sunny & warm thoughts your way !

Is the flower a type of astrantia? ...beautiful. Have a lovely weekend and hope the sun shines for you.

I love especially the 4th photo down. I saw this recipe in a blog that I follow, crepes of wrath, and thought you might like to see it.
