Last day of summer, 2025. And what a hot, muggy, buggy, did I mention hot? summer it was.

I feel I can safely type: I MADE IT!

Yes, true, I didn’t make it yet. I still have to get through tonight and the first half of tomorrow, Monday, September 22, (2:19 PM to be exact) but, hey, we’re splitting hairs here.

So let’s take a look back at some of the blessings that came my way.

I got to watch baby Eastern bluebirds fledge from their nest.

The Baltimore Oriole chose my yard for his territory.

My Northern Cardinal sang his sweet song every morning.

A family of deer visited the opposite shore of the river on many a morning.

The Ruby-throated Hummingbirds kept me company while I worked in the gardens.

Tender mercies were mine and despite the muggy, buggy, did I mention hot? weather, I have a full heart and peaceful soul.

Thank you, goddess.

Blessed be :}

Mi manchi profondamente, mio ​​amato immortale.
