I Don't Want Summer to Leave

My First summer in the mountains has been heavenly. The weather never got too hot and there was usually a gentle breeze whispering through the trees. As I watch Dave stack our winter wood and gather our kindling, I continue to deny the arrival of fall. It has always been my favorite season and yet even our ripening apples do not excite me. I feel fall's silent approach in the crisp morning air beckoning me forward.
Transitions
New beginnings come, reluctantly
like fall giving in to winters claim.
Winds sweeping away the dead of
fall, a shifting of life, a new day.
We have started anew, joyously
as our dreams drift like snowflakes
filling the trees with possibilities.
Blanketing us in quiet solitude.
The magic of Spring will come
whispering through the pines.
Rooted deeply in love, growth
emerging stronger in change.
Reflections on a summers eve
become blossoms of hope.
Opening to possibilities, joyfully
of living in the moment.

My wrist has been seen by an Orthopedist and he disagreed with the Radiologist. He took his own pictures and my wrist is NOT broken. Yayy!

So glad your wrist is ok Tammy.
Lovely evocative poem and photo.
I love Autumn so don't feel that way about this season. The colors alone are enough for me to be enchanted.
Hugs to you and Dave, G
I'm so glad your wrist isn't broken! I'm sorry I missed your call. I think I must have slept through the phone ringing (so I needed that sleep!). I love the pic and the poem. Good post, Tammy!

Hey girl,
Wrist, broken or not...you take good care of it, ya hear?
Wondering why the apples don't excite you. Are you dreading the winter? Fall is my favorite time as long as I stay put right in the moment.
Talk soon.
Love you,
Nance
Beautiful poem from your biggest fan!
Interesting thoughts on the seasons. I am personally loving Autumn...well, the little bit of it I get to see right now.
Hi Tammy, Beautiful apples and a touching poem..Thank you! :)
Oh, nice! I love the delicate colors of these apples. It's so unusual to see this lovely dusky pink instead of red. And the way you've composed the shot, it looks as if the apples arranged themselves on the branch in anticipation of your camera. Well done!
There is nothing better than apples still ripening on the tree. Beautiful shot to go with an evocative writing.
i love this time of year though am not looking forward to the next season whispering not so quietly in the wind ... which is why i took all those apples and made applesauce to heat up on cold snow nights, shiver ;-)
Tammy, Nice to meet you also! Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog!:)
Your writing is such a treat to read. The apple picture is stunning. I love Fall myself and it's late this year. I hope we're able to enjoy it before winter blows in!
Hugs Sherrie
Happy dance knowing your wrist is not broken. Hope it heals quickly!

Glad you go good news...take it easy and heal quickly. I have herd that a sprain/bruise is sometimes worse than an actual break.
Your apples on the tree make me want to go to the orchard and pick about a bushel. The look delicious!
That's a real treat for me to see - I'm in Florida, nothing but oranges growing around here ;-)
Beautiful entry to go with the photo.
what lovely prose and poetry, tammy. you can tell it's coming from a place that deeply touches your soul. i miss you my sweet and i do so love coming here to always grab a bit of your sunshine.
((hugs))
