Still August - still Summer - still loving
Beach days
Wild flowers
Messing about in old boats
or just messing about on the water.
Apples
Rain freshened mornings
new perspectives
Cloud watching.
and more beach days
So, where will the road take you this week?
This will be the last of my Summer Loving posts for this year. The land is beginning to take on a richer hue, and Autumn is seeping in at the edges. I have loved sharing snapshots of our Summer days with you all, and would like to thank you for joining me, and leaving such lovely comments.
I hope you have had a wonderful Summertime, and that your harvests have been joyful and abundant.
Blessings of the season to you all ♥
I have thoroughly enjoyed my journey into summer-time on Lewis Island with you. Your photos are exquisite!

A beautiful blog.
ReplyDeleteJust one question - do you have crime on your lovely island? I'm curious to know as I noticed you have a padlock on your barn which surprised me. From reading your posts I imagined the island to be a crime free place.

Thanks everyone - so glad you have enjoyed the Summer series.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Hello! There is some petty crime - not a lot tbh, and if I had taken the photo the day before / the door was left wide open to the world :) The padlock is a habit more than anything. The barn is not near the house, so we aren't looking out on it, and up until the end of April we were downing weeks at a time on the mainland, so it is just part of the routine to padlock the door at the end of the working day
I would say, looking at the monthly assizes reports in the paper, that most crimes are driving offences or weekend drink related. Doors are still unlocked most of the time.

How I would love to have Autumn seeping in. 100 degrees F in the forecast today and tomorrow. I will have to mist my newly planted cole crops in the afternoons. But next week's forecast looks more like September.
