Evenings

They are longer now that I have to spend more time inside. It's just that it gets dark so early and after I watch Jeopardy there is nothing to do but go to bed at 8 and read for a few hours or maybe fall asleep at 8 with my book on the pillow.

I hate for summer to end. My garden didn't get all the growing in that it needed. I have tiny little pumpkins and green tomatoes. I have flower pots with dead plants in them. They just needed a few more days of hot weather and now I need a jacket for my morning walk.

I know there must be some positive things about the end of summer if I could just think of them. Let's see-more time to sew, more time to talk on the phone, more time to drink coffee and visit with friends, maybe more time to travel to places where there is summer.
