Summer’s End, and Possibilities

I love this time of year....the temperature can occasionally soar to 100+degrees, but mostly it’s what I consider welcomely warm in the mornings, pleasantly summerly during the day, soothingly cool in the evenings, deliciously cool at night.
And the colors of the chaparral have shifted from predominant greens with subtle splashes of color to muted greens among the overall rusty browns with creamy accents.  And the scents, especially the laurel leaf sumacs, are so very rich!
I’ve woven two new botanical weavings in the last couple of weeks, inspired by these colors and scents.  One is the second in my “Patterns” series, entitled “Summer’s End”. The other came to me as I found myself reflecting on the myriad of choices we make in our lifetimes, both those of daily life as we move in familiar routines, as well as those that arise at pivotal junctures in our life.  Each choice is like a seed we plant, which may or may not ever sprout, or which may come to fruition as we envisioned (rarely) or as we could scarcely ever imagine possible.  “Possibilities” is about the plants’ seeds, which hold possibilities for Earth’s future.
