Well, can you believe it, the whole of summer is quickly coming to a halt.
The end of the dog days has arrived, August 11th. School is back in session. The sweet corn has been eaten. The big brandywine tomatoes are done growing and only the little cherry tomatoes are left.
The sunflowers are hanging their heavy seeded heads. The bright Dog Star, Sirius returns to the night sky, leaving behind the hottest days of summer.

The last of the lilies are blooming. The Fabulous Orientals! They give us their grand finale with their large fragrant heavenly blooms in August.
