time marches on

The end of summer is approaching - the tomatoes are almost all ripened! I have a newly acquired taste of these bright red orbs and growing my own this year has been fun and rewarding. Today was the first day of another school year (and maybe her last)for my wife. After I kissed her goodbye and bid her a good year I had time to think about the summer we spent together. Our days were filled with family, friends and fun. Quiet times were also numerous. Sitting on the porch having that first cup of tea and reading the morning paper - a simple pleasure. The memories are many. As fall approaches the days of summer remain with me. Hopefully, their memories will get me through the changing seasons!
