Nature Journal - To Linger in the Fresh Air

My nature journal continues.  

On busy days, I sketch in my thoughts 

and go back and add color when I have more time.  

I had to acknowledge canning the last of this year's tomatoes, 

with a quick sketch of our primary cultivar:

Amish Paste Tomatoes, a great all-purpose heirloom.

Finally, the past few days have returned to cooler temperatures.

Even on the warmer, sunnier days, the breeze feels autumnal.

I feel a suggestion of urgency in that breeze...

to stock the pantry and set cozy blankets all around the house.

Conversely, I want to leave the chairs on the decks,

so that we may gather with friends and family 

a few more times, 

to linger comfortably in the fresh air,

before really cool weather sets in.

Wherever you are, whatever the weather, I wish you comfort.
