(glimpses) - days like these

how is it that summer once stretched out with many, long days ...

and now all those places not so near, but still not so far are blending together ...

 

even on cue,  the nights are already cooling and the fan that sat steady-fast in the open window has been turned off and on the stove a little bit of magic .... as an early glimpse of autumn color sits on my kitchen counter ...

 but even with summer vacation just ended.... a few more days of late summer might sill be here
