Summer is winding down and Fall is on its way. We are not quite ready to let go of Summer. How about you?
Today Hattingdon is wearing a cheerful mod cap in a gorgeous yellow with swirls and polka dots in white. This should keep us in a sunny mood.

How about some poetry? A.E. Housman’s poem reflects on the passing of summer and the introspection it often brings.
When Summer’s End is Nighing
by A.E. Housman
When summer’s end is nighing
And skies at evening cloud,
I muse on change and fortune
And all the feats I vowed
When I was young and proud.
