Late Summer

 We were given this cute Patty Pan squash and lovely sweet peppers. I've diced the peppers and froze them in snack-sized baggies. The squash I think I'll just keep to look pretty.


 The squash and peppers are so very yellow so I went outside and looked for more colour. 

 The Black-Eyed Susans....


 ....and a lone Day Lily bloom.


 I tell myself that Autumn is coming, bringing cooler temperatures and a new crop of apples.If I tell myself enough times I may believe it :)    We bought a box of peaches on the weekend but they're not quite ripe yet. Meanwhile we are under yet another heat warning.   GM

  1. That squash is so cute. Reminds me of a sunflower. Such a pretty color.
    I'm one of the few people who isn't ready for fall yet. Still enjoying our spring like summer.

  2. Really YELLOW! Like the sun! Yellow was my favorite-color when I was a child. The first Patty Pan squash ...very nice form! Autun will approach, and even when heat will come once more, the sun will slowly disappear and the night of long winter is on the way.

  3. I love all your pretty yellows today. I'm sorry you and so many others are having such hot weather. I hope it will subside soon as Autumn is definitely coming. Last winter we had record snowfalls so we'll see what we are in for this year. Hope we have a nice long Fall....but we never do!

  4. I am so sorry you are still in the heat warnings. I hate the heat so it would be long days for me.
    Love your yellow my black eyed susans are fading and I do have one bloom on my day lily.

  5. Lots of yellow in your world right now isn't there? That meme is nice and I'm really looking forward to cooler weather but I detest winter more than summer. I hope it's a mild one like we had last year.
    Blessings,

  6. I really enjoy the autumn. It's my favorite time of year but I am trying to savor the last summer days as the chill of winter will come all too soon. Love all the spots of yellow from the garden. It's such a perky color!

  7. Fall is coming!!! I just wish it would hurry up. :) We're under a heat advisory too. The little squash is cute and a great reminder there are cooler days ahead.

  8. It is beginning to feel a bit Autumnal here although we are still in August.

  9. Yes, I recall now that you are one of those who wish the end of summer away. Well, to each his own. Coolness does sound wonderful right now, but I need to hold on to each precious day of summer.

  10. I love your sunny pops of yellow today. That squash is a cutie. Yellow peppers are our families favorite.
    I am yearning for fall weather now too. I think a lot of that depends on how hot the weather is where one lives. We are supposed to reach into the high 90s next week. I am so over it.

  12. We are supposed to be in a heat wave this weekend and we have smoke from the wildfires too. I have inside projects to do and books to read and naps to take:)
