The 5th Season

This is my favorite time of year, the condensed season between the seasons, before the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.

It is a season when temperatures are still a little more hot than cool, but neither extreme is that extreme.

It is a season when summertime activities like camping are still appropriate,

but when, in the misty morning, sweatshirts are required.

During this season, zinnias, summertime's flower, are still available for picking

but so are apples, which are certainly fall-ish.

I love this season, the fifth season, and all the beauty it brings.

Happy Labor Day!
