First of the fall and there she goes back... -Sly and the Family Stone
Hello my loves!
Here’s a quick check-in as Daddy and I transition from a summer garden to a fall garden. If you are just tuning in, you’d have to go back to the beginning to see why we are where we are today.
Not to worry though, you can find past episodes on the right panel of this blog under categories: Greens From Daddy’s Patio.
Anyway…
There have been some losses, but, as I said before, I’ve learned that this is a huge part of the process.
Dream on dreamer life gets in your way If the life you live is a spinning top of pain then you can Dream on dreamer life gets in your way If ya live to learn you’ll be lucky one day
Hot Fun In The Summertime by Sly and The Family Stone: August 1969
One of my favorite songs of all time!
The piano intro is so haunting; it hits me smack dab in the middle of my brain’s wistful zone.
Strangely enough, I love that!
I live for the way Sly likens summer days to a magical lady that appears at the “end of the spring” and goes away before the “first of the fall.”
What an enchanting metaphor!
Can’t you just imagine this fanciful little golden sprite twirling in and out of our lives, bringing and taking sunny memories with her.
“…everythang is cool!!!”
🙂 🙂 🙂
And now…
I celebrate the Northern Hemisphere’s ‘re-entry’ into the gates of the Autumnal Equinox!
And, as a true lover of fall, I’m brimming over with majestic and sublime feelings of exaltation!
Welcome back Autumn! Welcome back!
If you live in the Northern half of the world, why don’t you join me as I salute the return of crisp cool mornings, slanted afternoon sunlight and brisk evening breezes!
Go now and open the closest door or window; better yet, step outside!
Bid summer farewell and envision her as she pirouettes away on the melody of this jam!
Ah…wasn’t that exhilarating!
Oh well, my time here is up.
I’ll see you guys later!
Lady J and I have a date with “the first of the Fall!”
Much love as always,
Lady G
😘💋
