So I guess I will have to face it,
summer is officially past...
I though I would share a look back,
a farewell nod...
When summer gathers up her robes of glory,
And, like a dream, glides away.

And, like a dream, glides away.

Lavender flowers and blue skies...
the seemingly endless Valerian blooms...
fish swimming lazily...
the Roses!
Toadflax swaying gently in the breeze...
garden secrets,
as ancient as time...
lazy days in the gazebo...
the Roses...
an abundance of beauty,
to gather...
the bouquets...
taking time out for tea
in the garden,
with a good book
in my heart though,
this summer belongs to the girls...
Daisy and Iris
came home to live with me in June,
and have ruled every moment of the summer...
I knew two puppies would be a handful,
and they are...
but the joy,
has been immeasurable...
I am gonna miss splashing around :-)
Tonight I am joining...
and
Thanks for stopping by today....

I love your posts. They are always so beautiful and make me smile.
You take such lovely pictures!
Do you have any of Rohdadendrums?
Maybe you should submit some of your photos to Victoria Magazine

Hi Bella,
You have so much beauty all around you! Thank you for your sweet comment but it is you who inspires me.
I agree your pictures should be in Victoria.

Your pictures are so pretty! I'm sad that summer is almost over. It takes so long to arrive that I'm always bummed when it's gone. :)
Your dogs are so cute!
Have a great day.

PS the pups and the roses are my favs ;)
I didn't realize the name of Toadflax! Love and adore your photos Bella. You will have to hop over and see the AMAZING picture my daughter snapped of Rainier on Wednesday when we had the unusual cloud pattern.
It is so sad to see summer go, but I look forward to autumn.
Oh forgot, you pups are simply darling!! I bet they are much better behaved than my hyper pup!
I so enjoyed your post! Now with everyone starting to decorate for fall I am getting a little bummed--I love the colors of spring and summer. Thanks for sharing! I'm going to follow you

Dear Bella,
How sweet your girls look. I can imagine they must give you lots of you. I enjoyed seeing all those beautiful flowers from your garden. We have a lovely warm weekend ahead of us. It will probably be the last one before the autumn really starts.
Happy weekend,

What a wonderful review of Summer, a little sad isn't it? Sigh!
Your pictures my dear definitely belong in a magazine...
Happy Autumn,
Hugs Rosemary...xx
*Sigh*.....Your garden is so absolutely beautiful, Bella. You have created a little piece of heaven in your yard - and a place of comfort and joy for your two little furbabies. ♥ They are just adorable! What breed are they? It's so very sad to see summer slip away. It's my favorite time of year...

What a glorious good bye to Summer. Thankfully it comes back every year. I love your new babies. Yes, they are work but their joy is immeasurable.
Great to have you be a part of Seasonal Sundays.
