mayOn this Labor Day weekend, the flowers are blooming profusively, maybe enjoying the cooler days after the hot July and early August.
I'm feeling nostalgic, wanting to hang on to summer but also thinking of .candle scents. Although I enjoy scented candles, I don't usually burn them during the summer but with shorter days my thoughts turn toward the scents of pumpkin and apples and cinnamon.
Because i keep track of such things in my journal, as a way of keeping myself grounded, I can tell you that on June 24 (close enough to the solstice) sunrise was at 6:13 am and sunset was at 9:07 pm. And today 7:05 am and 8:11 pm. It feels like the long days of summer are sliding away even more quickly than usual.
About that eye doctor visit yesterday, it was good in the things that are important. The new cornea is attached and clear.
I will need a laser treatment at the end of October to zap a "secondary cataract," the back of the lens that is kept in place with cataract surgery to help the eye keep its shape.
It isn't a big deal, very common, just a quick procedure. I had a moment - I so wanted this to be over - but today I can put it in perspective. It really isn't a big deal.

Good morning, Connie, that sounds like a great doctor's report on your eye!! So thankful, and you can continue to enjoy driving yourself as well as sewing! :). I agree that it seems as if Summer is quickly flowing by. There's a nip in the air, even when the sun is hot, that just feels like Fall. And the days are definitely growing shorter. Enjoy these bittersweet days of late Summer, early Fall.
