The sudden drop in temperature down here, by almost 20 degrees some days! makes you realise that summer isn't going to be endless and that winter is approaching. I have noticed as well that the mornings are later now than they were and the nights are drawing in. <br /><br />Lovely to see the flowers around your little town.

Extra food too. Thank you for your visits to my blog. Thankful Gerard is getting better!

I'm glad that there are people who live nearby that are sharing the same experiences and I'm sure they are ready to give you company and help when needed. You must also be looking forward to family coming. I've been sorting out my linen cupboard and bedding only because we've had good drying weather recently.
