a wind has blown the rain away. . .

I'm late posting this baby.  But considering that there is about 3 feet of snow outside, I'm going to let it slide and visually reminisce about the beautiful season that just came to a close.

 

and a poem for you, my loves. . . 

a wind has blown the rain away
by e.e. cummings

a wind has blown the rain away and blown

the sky away and all the leaves away,

and the trees stand. I think i too have known

autumn too long

         (and what have you to say,

wind wind wind—did you love somebody

and have you the petal of somewhere in your heart

pinched from dumb summer?

         O crazy daddy

of death dance cruelly for us and start

the last leaf whirling in the final brain

of air!)Let us as we have seen see

doom’s integration………a wind has blown the rain

away and the leaves and the sky and the

trees stand:

       the trees stand. The trees,

suddenly wait against the moon’s face.

dear fall,

It's windy and rainy today and I think it's fair to say that summer is over.  There are still a ton of things I haven't yet shared from this magical summer, but here is a start, compliments of one of the many backyard picnics that took place.  

love,
   summer
