I usually don't start to feel melancholic till almost September, but this year the summer seemed so short (cold and rainy June here) and as I said above August is the first anniversary of my mother's death, so it's especially poignant for me this year. Glad to meet another summer lover, and thanks again for your comment!ElaineLKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00866201775130742517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411269347100258466.post-49229575863052056352013-08-02T08:23:01.882-07:002013-08-02T08:23:01.882-07:00Thank you, Gina.

The constant buzzing that you stop hearing but that's just part of the overall summer atmosphere. It's so sad when they stop.ElaineLKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00866201775130742517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411269347100258466.post-31212886444949012852013-08-02T08:20:09.216-07:002013-08-02T08:20:09.216-07:00Thanks so much, Jo-Anne.
