It's Time To Smile

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
Dr. Suess


I try to remind myself of this wonderful quote when I'm feeling sad about change or moments passing too quickly. 

Around this time every summer I start to feel a little sad. With sunflowers in full bloom it means summer is slowly adjourning. It's always difficult for me to come to terms with fading summer. 

Shorter days are around the corner and it's way too soon! It seems summer just barely arrived and now we're close to saying goodbye. 

On the other hand, it's a time of great excitement as a gardener. Seeing all your hard work pay off, proudly reaping what you've sown. I love it! 

It's time to harvest ripening tomatoes, flourishing zucchini and plumping cucumbers. 

It's time to find joy in the bright and cheerful sunflowers and feel delighted with the memories of warm and green never-ending days.

It's time to smile. Because it happened.
