A Moment in Midsummer

It's looking much like harvest-time
although it's still July,
with faded creams and straw-shades
as seed heads dry:
a time of year when sunsets
can make me want to cry

Not melancholy tears at all,
no, not remotely sad,
although a touch nostalgic for
when we, as children, had
freshly broken up from school,
to leave me wholly glad.

Another lovely day of grannying and gardening ...

Have a good weekend, blipmates!
