The colors of August are the warning colors…yellow, orange and red.
They are the colors of change.
The heat cannot continue.
The blooming must cease.
It is time to set seed
and harvest the crops
and prepare for a change.
There will always be change.
Beginnings and endings.
Births and deaths.
Slowing and stopping.
August is a time of change.
A crescendo of colors.
When the brights cannot get brighter.
The light must dim. Life must dim…and slow…and stop.
Only to begin again at another place…at another time.
A Slower Flower remembering our precious Melissa

A sweet remembrance. Gardeners are keenly aware of life cycles. Peace.

It’s funny how often nature seems in tune with our thoughts when we pay attention. The beautiful orange hibiscus makes an especially lovely tribute.
