Spending time with our grandchildren is such an important thing to me..doing things together that may be passed down to their children also. Summer is still hanging on here in South Carolina..the acorns are on the trees and I have taken several photos..waiting for one that will jump out at me and say "take my picture"! Autumn is my favorite time as the colors are more soothing to me but I also like spring with all its colorful fanfare! Great post and photos!

I love all of the seasons, and each for a different reason. For example, even though I truly dislike the cold of winter, it simply would never feel like Christmas if it weren't cold, and hopefully snowy. I feel very fortunate to live in an area that has the 4 very distinct and diverse seasons.Lisa Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06638444295223502727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-64375666165964937412014-08-25T18:57:35.574+02:002014-08-25T18:57:35.574+02:00Our acorns have been falling all summer, not quite...Our acorns have been falling all summer, not quite sure what that means for this winter.Sarah Huizengahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326211901751159368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-10263525238158261332014-08-25T16:12:40.385+02:002014-08-25T16:12:40.385+02:00We have plenty of acorns here, but I've never ...We have plenty of acorns here, but I've never put one on my nose.

Maybe I will make a point of finding one in a nursery and bringing it home. Now that we have moved to the country I certainly have room to plant one. I'll do it in honor of Indiana, the place of my birth and childhood. There they grew wild and were everywhere:)<br />Thank you again for this lovely post.<br />Your blogging sister,<br />Connie :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-78038653431360336102014-08-24T14:54:59.714+02:002014-08-24T14:54:59.714+02:00"Moody and unpredictable" is a great des..."Moody and unpredictable" is a great description for this summer!

Too cold up north. Now that we live in the south we have all that, but no acorns, they are from the fairytails ;o) I love freezing cold winter down to 25-30 minus. I love spring with the warmth of the sun all the flowers who comes back from last year. I love summer, especially up north with the midnightsun. The passed years it has been too hot, I don't like that, nor the pouring rain for weeks on end. Then finally comes autumn, with the clear sky and crisp mornings, the colors change from green to orangebrowns. The mountains in autumn *bliss*, can't ask for more. Sp above all, I love the seasons, and I am as you, thankfull that we do have them. <br />Have a lovely sunday, I will finish my coffee and make a sweet pastry dough for lots of visitors today.
