Almost

Summer's end once again is almost here But I welcome the disappearance of high heat with cheer Even though I will miss my whip-poor-will's song He sings at twilight a most rapturous song His symphonic melody adds a special savor here And creates anticipation for each evening's cheer When he visits, heart filled, then releases his music's cheer It makes me want to learn his undulating song Then day after day all winter long there'd be music here Evenings here then would end with cheer, and morns would begin with song

Yes, probably at least another month or 6 weeks until it cools down except when we get weather off of a tropical storm or hurricane. Thanks for the visit, Kim. Sara

Thanks for this Sara. You have a way with capturing the beautiful things right here and now that we can appreciate. You're making me smile. BTW, perhaps one day soon we'll have a translation of the song and really understand what it means. I do believe it will be as you say...cheerful!!!

Yes, maybe man will one day understand birds simple language. A person has worked with a bird maybe a cockatoo or a parrot and it can talk some. It can say things like red truck when it picks up a red toy truck like a hot wheel. The trainer said that means that in the wild those birds recognize color and objects. Thanks for dropping by .

I must admit I love the forthcoming autumn, these days I struggle in the heat of summer. Tom

Yes, summer is not very pleasant as we age, and our bodies can't adjust to temperature changes so well. I prefer early spring's kind of weather and also middle fall because it is not so hot. Thanks for dropping by. Sara K
