The Passage of Time

Green and closed - how amazing are those patterns?

My goodness, where does the time go?? Time is my friend, I embrace it, but sometimes it does rather zoom past me and I end up wondering what did I do with all that time?

Bees like sunflowers :) That's how they spend their time!

Naturally it has been filled with family, raising teens, work, settling into the school year with two high-schoolers, meals, groceries, crafts, soul collage meetings, reading, confirmation meetings, presidential debates, walks, lazy days, back-to-school night (and here I'm thankful that they are finally at the same school again, even if it's just for one year) ... all the usual stuff that time is spent on.
In the absence of fresh crafting projects and artistic endeavours to show you, here are some sunflower photos from the garden. Time has worked it's magic on the sunflowers, the petals have dried, the center blossoms are gone, and the seeds are revealed. I'm leaving them out there for the birds for a while, and will harvest some for next year's summer garden. How could you not like time when it works wonders like that?Hope your time is passing well and you're enjoying the changing of the seasons. Here in the USA it's Autumn, pretty much my favourite season, in Australia it's Spring and those wonderful wildflowers are abundant. What's happening in your corner of the world?
