The insect world is working hard, harder, hardest.

This time of year —although, the heat makes one feel like the days are dragging,—

The insects know it isn’t

That one day, very soon, the  heat will no longer fill the days, and quite suddenly

(We had a freeze on Oct 6, 2013—-a photo from the archives)

A freeze will occur causing summer to vanish.

Until then— 

We will continue to prepare and watch the signs of the year’s turning.
