Farewell summer, your beauty has been seen in all things and in all forms from large and small,
from the harshest to the most gentle, from morning to night.
From
the thorny prickly pear cactus,
the forever hungry horn worm,
the whimsical praying mantis,
the season's prettiest geraniums,
the prairie wildflowers,
the strangest hail stones,
the quiet early mornings,
to the evenings after a strom,
it has been a great season.
