I've heard it said that "summer should receive a speeding ticket"! Isn't that true? It seems as soon as summer arrives in the blink of an eye it is almost over. Like fruit ready to be harvested, our last days of summer were sweet, ripe, and juicy in enjoyment. (All photos and photo collages will enlarge if clicked on)
We took many hikes in our area and enjoyed the beauty of Colorado's Front Range
We spent lots of time with grandchildren, enjoying community playgrounds, parks, and pools.
We visited nearby scenic Red Rocks Amphitheatre to attend a concert by cello virtuoso, Yo-Yo Ma!
If you'd like to listen to a few minutes of Yo-Yo Ma playing Bach at the concert --click here--to go to a video on my Mille Fiori Favoriti facebook page.
Watching twin fawns growing up, after their birth in our next door neighbor's yard in June, was very enjoyable! We've also been fortunate to see much other wildlife this summer--click here-- to read about that. One thing I really love about summer is its very long daylight hours and beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Although we never seem to have enough rain in Colorado, we were finally blessed this August with some good showers (and some hail!)
We've also attended two exciting Broncos football exhibition games this August, that were held at Mile High Stadium in Denver!
More about that in a future post.
And as surely as August approaches its end, and the field grasses grow long and go to seed......
... it was "back to school" time in Colorado this past week, and also back to sports and school-related activities for our grandchildren.
Like the flight of a beautiful butterfly, the summer of 2018 has fluttered into its last few days and moments to savor.
Autumn comes early to Colorado's high elevations and the aspen trees will soon be turning glorious shades of gold. Autumn is my favorite season and I'm looking forward to cooler weather and fall activities. Are you looking forward to the same? What was your favorite memory of the summer of 2018?
