Mid Summer Blues

we thought we were ready
till the unexpected fell upon us

such high expectations
for fun and adventure
plans for get-aways
excursions and discoveries

the days and weeks go by
another summer slips away

Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 7/25/2025 5:02:00 PM just this morning I realized how summer is slipping away. EEGADS. So much we wanted to do...life gave us some curve balls that now prohibit us from doing some of what we planned. I can relate Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 7/25/2025 7:16:00 PM Yes indeed ~ we don't want to postpone ~

Paula Goldsmith Date: 7/25/2025 11:33:00 AM I enjoyed reading your write. Pretty Picture... Guess summer is half over. I cannot wait for fall. I am tired of the 110 to 120 heat. Have a wonderful day writing away............... Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 7/25/2025 2:17:00 PM I have to admit that autumn is my favourite season ~ thanks, Paula
