As Summer Wanes....

 I could not resist picking one of the last roses on Kathy's rose bush. Added some of the daisy like flowers for a tiny bouquet.
  We have had rain this week.
 Light hazy fogs also. usually after the rains.  The bean field is starting to show touches of yellow
 This is one of the pioneer bean fields. So pretty with the blue skies and puffy white clouds. This is summer.
 Just across the road from the beans is a corn field. You can see it is changing colors. The corn ears are drooping down in the middle of each stalk.
 This is one sunset this week. I always like the shadows on the shop/garage.
 This was Wednesday's sunset. Love the colors.
 Another view of the same evening.
  Last weekend , was the Summer's End Fest in Rossville Indiana. This is Layla holding her cousin Max's hand , they are in rain gear walking to the festival.  It rained like mad on Saturday. But let up long enough for the children to take the little ones to the festival.  These sidewalks look awful. Much like some in our town too.
  Luke rode along in his stroller.  The little ones are growing so fast.  Let me squeeze them back down to little. :):)
  Max rode a Donald Duck bomber plane. LOL. He loved the kid rides.
  Lynzie, Mark, Max and Luke, this was taken on the vacation to the beach.  Lynzie had  a birthday this past week and Mark's will have next week.  So we are taking them all to lunch , one day this coming week. Shhh...that's a gift for them and will definitely be for us also. LOL.
   Wishing all of you a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Most will probably have a three day weekend, so fun if you are still working. Enjoy. XO

  4. Susie, those kids are adorable and love the little ones walking together and also the family pic. We need rain really bad and everything is dry here. I think that one picture is so pretty and it makes me think of the song, Deep Purple. "When the deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls." Remember that? I like your little bouquet. So dainty. And finally, I have never heard of pioneer beans. Will have to look that up. Happy Labor Day. Connie

    1. Nonnie, Pioneer is the name of the company that grows the soybeans for seed ...then they sell them to farmers , to grow their own soybeans.
      Oh I loved that song from long ago.
      I enjoy my family so much...When I think of the great young parents some of them are..I am proud. Blessings to you, DH and your family. Enjoy this weekend. xoxo, Susie

    1. Hi Kathy, I do not know what to think of August being over....it was very hot and uncomfortable for me. Had to stay inside mostly. Oh I love how close Max and Layla are. Max's mom and Layla's father were close siblings . Aren't they growing? Oh dear. Blessings to you and Joe, xoxo, Susie

  11. A plane type ride in my childhood was made to look like a WWI fighter jet. One kid was the pilot the other was the gunner. It was pretty neat

    1. Adam, There was a gun type thing in front of Max and he seemed to be holding it. Boy toys we used to say. Simpler times guns meant different things. It was play. We used to play "Cops and Robbers" Cowboys and Indians" and the ever popular, "Army" . Crazy huh? Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie

    1. Susie, My daughter and I laughed about the many fogs and said the very same thing...there can't be that many snows. Plus wooly worm predictions of mild or bad winters. There's more black ones but we have brown and blonde ones also. I hope you are doing well. I keep you in my prayers. Bless you dear friend, love, xoxo Susie

  14. I can comment today, Susie! I love Kathy's rose, and the color is stunning. That's such a pretty picture of the rain in your front yard. Is it unusual to have rain at this time? That is a precious picture of Layla and Max holding hands and walking to the festival, and a sweet one of Luke. And what a great picture of the family. I love the matching aqua shirts.

    Autumn is coming soon to my area. I can feel the breeze in the mornings, and the leaves are starting to fall. I'm so glad to be able to comment today, Susie.

    love you,
    ~Sheri
