Half Past Summer, Two Months Till Fall

Summer is a time of wanderlust and fun with long days and warm nights
A season to enjoy the outdoors as we cultivate our many gardens of life
The days are now getting shorter as nature slowly starts to rest into slumber
Hummingbirds take their last sip of nectar before their fall departure 
Leaves start to transform from green into bright crimson, orange and gold
Gardens deliver their last bounty then rest as they become brown and drab
It will soon be fall, a season of anticipation of the upcoming holiday season
Homes decorated in harvest décor in gold and rust and with orange pumpkins

I am glad that you involved both aspects of the theme , summer and then fall. I had to check on my laptop that this had only 8 lines. On my phone it ends up with 16. I hate how that happens. Congrats and thanks for entering my contest.

We are still in the worst part of summer. I yearn for my youth when I would go swimming. Your narrative is spectacular. You did very well
