Happy September!
Another Labor Day Weekend and the crickets here at The Farmstead in Central Maine are singing about it. I snapped this photo on the day their chorus began (three weeks ago). As Grandma would say, “Only six more weeks ’til frost.” And that was three weeks ago.
Needless to say, nature inspired me to pen a poem for the occasion.

Lovely poem, Bette. I love crickets. I don’t hear them as much out here. They always remind me of the late days of summer. How the frost hold off for you a little longer! Happy Autumn.

Thank you, Diana. Crickets are still singing their seasonal songs and we’re hoping it continues right into October. Enjoying the music and wishing you a lovely autumn too! 🙂

You are a super poet! Loved this! We do have the crickets now – our tree frogs aren’t singing any more but I’m finding a frog in the pool with me every day. I’m getting a lot of exercise chasing them around the pool with a net.

‘Longing to linger’…yes I too think the same every evening as I look at the setting sun, going down within minutes! But I love all the hues and changes, which nature brings. 🙂
Lovely poem, Bette.

Thanks, Micki. Only three week now! Summer days are getting shorter and I’m really not ready for fall and especially not for what comes after. But, then there will be spring! Have a wonderful day, my dear friend! ❤ Bette
