a promise summer can't keep

cold snap's a'comin'

I get the urge for going,
When the meadow grass is turning brown,
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

You have more dragon- and damselflies than I've ever seen! I have yet to capture one...with the camera or otherwise. We are enjoying summer's last hurrah too. The days and nights have dipped to November temps already! Hoping for an Indian Summer before it's all over and done with.
