Porte Ponderings:

The last days of summer. My favorite time to be at the trailer. The temperatures are wonderful. The days are getting shorter. Everyone has returned to work or school and the trailer park has only the seasonal residents remaining.

Birds and butterflies have started their migrations. The orioles have been gone for almost a month. Turkey vultures are soaring on the currents above the beach. Hummingbirds now seen are just passing through. The harvest moon is shining bright only to be disturbed by a lunar eclipse. Northern lights have been shining in the wee hours.

I’ve been practising my flute for my nephew’s wedding on Saturday. I’m looking forward to the party. 😉

Porte Musings:

The last Sunday of Summer. Warm, sunny low winds.

Motorcycle ride or Kayak?
Walk or Run?
Fast or Slow?
Paint or Read?

Enjoy these last days of summer.
