Summer is slowly ebbing away

 Well, even tho' the tree in the backyard is wearing a smiley face....

 ...if must be cooling off if even the signs are wearing jackets!

 Most of these are just random views from Home Depot, with this view looking down on Wasilla Lake and across to the Talkeetna Mts.

 According to lore, once the fireweed blooms hit the top of the flower there are six weeks left till winter. Uh, oh, better go dig out my long johns, it looks like.

 And....and....and yet....tho' they are definitely fading away, there are still flowers to be seen.
