Summer's Ending........

[sunnyday]

Wondered what tells everyone that summer is ending.......

 

For me (being a country girl) it's all the tractors on the roads and when we venture to the pub (not often obviously ) come 10 o'clock the farmers come in having just finished their combining (sp)! :1b

[Melba]

The weather starts getting better....!

[Cait]

Golly, your farmers knock of early dahn sarf! Ours are often still going with big beams on till after midnight, making the most of 'dry'!

[Froglet]

I'm not sure, all the things I can think of are more about autumn starting... That first early morning with the slightest nip of frost in the air (that disappears into a lovely, warm, sunny day) the beautiful deep blue the sky goes and of course sparkling spiders' webs.

For me, it's the michaelmas daisies and the gentian coming into flower

[Andreamay]

speaking as a harvesting widow I can agree but surely this year our summer isnt over yet!!

[Rea]

The leaves are changing on a tree in my garden!

For me it's the media having a go at all the 16-18 year olds that have worked their backsides off doing exams! It was the same 16 & 14 years ago when I took mine. Sad but true.

Do let us know!

[Cait]

Oh my! That's a big change!

[Panders]

Oh my! That's a big change!

 

It is, yes, but he needed a new challenge, plus I get to have him out from under my feet, which can be a real bonus sometimes ::1a

i never think of it as summer ending.. more the start of Autumn, which is a way off yet...

when the air changes to that morning chill and the days are still quite warm..

a heavy dew on the ground and all those spiders building their webs across the garden...

end of the tomatoes and other crops..

 

Still plenty of summer to go yet..

[sunnyday]

[Froglet]

When 'stationery' suddenly becomes the feature aisle in Tescos (and I have to devise new and circuitous routes to try and avoid temptation)!

[sunnyday]

:blink: I would just give in to temptation!!! :lol:

[louby loo]

On the bright side.........you can double up your tescos vouchers and use them on stationary- I'm very tempted :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

 

 

Back to end of summer - I went into town today and some of the trees along the high street were losing leaves :(

[Froglet]

:blink: I would just give in to temptation!!! :lol:

 

I usually do eventually!

[Panders]

:blink: I would just give in to temptation!!! :lol:

 

Did you all know that Sunnyday has Staplesaddictionitis - if anyone sees here within 200 metres of a Staples store they must instantly report it.

What are the symptoms? I may have the first signs. What's worse is that Staples is on the same retail park as Hobbycraft... :blink:

[Cait]

I have the same addiction as Sunnyday. So much so that I have my own Staples Counsellor. I email him when the urges get too strong and he tells me how I can still get what I want without spending a fortune.

 

Strangely one of my apple trees has turned autumnal colours even though the apples aren't finished yet!

[sunnyday]

What are the symptoms? I may have the first signs. What's worse is that Staples is on the same retail park as Hobbycraft... :blink:

 

I'm trying really hard to get this particular addiction under control :blink:

 

Now - first signs........does your hard beat a little faster when someone mentions Staples........can you imagine yourself walking down the aisles........can you anticipate the rush you are going to get as you fill your trolley - oh yes trolley - a basket wouldn't be big enough.........if you have answered yes to any of this then I'm afraid you are well on your way...........

[thumperrabbit]

Summers ending because it's starting to go dark earlier ..... Not good
