When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

"Fall Harvest" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's Take a Word challenge was "Orange."

I know Fall is still about two months away, but the other day, when it cooled off after the very hot weather we had, it felt and sounded like the waning days of Summer. There are certain bugs that make a buzzing sound here, as the temperatures start to cool down a little, signalling the end that is coming. The air had that same feel to it. I can't describe it any better than that. (It's like being able to smell snow coming in the air in Winter, before the storm arrives. Maybe it's a New England "thing.") It's hot again, like it usually is here in July, but the waning Summer days aren't too far away now, here in the Northeast United States.
