Thank you!

How wonderful! Congrats @marilour! I’m sure you will be amazing.

Nice story, @bipolar95. It's interesting how blended families work, and how it can be very hard for a step-parent to have any authority. Funny... you wrote a different story with the same title in July!

Ha ha ha. Pepe is cute. Nice that he's thinking of nice things to do for the lady frogs! Lovely pictures. I really love that one of the train tracks.

Wait, isn't there still time? It's early yet. Our colors are just starting to turn. And we will need the weather to turn chill before the leaves truly comply. I hope you get some good color yet this season!

That is my favorite time of day too, especially on a harbor where the dusky sky is reflected in the water! I am worried about the swan. They mate for life, I believe, and that must mean that something

What a wonderful gift from the queen! Your daughter looks like she is having a lovely time. How cute!! Your pictures are terrific. Happy Wednesday @littlepiggies!

I love pictures of seagulls. I know some people think of them as flying rats, but I think they are elegant and peaceful. I enjoyed your post!

I spent six months in Greece when I was in college, @fotostef. What a beautiful country. I sort of looked Greek enough that I could fit in pretty well... until people tried to converse with me. Ha ha.

At least you have a plan, then! I always hate giving up a room. But opening out a space and feeling less cramped while hosting dinners could be very nice!

Yes, that last hurrah of summer is so delightful, and so important to seize onto... because we know what's coming, don't we @elizabethbit!

Thank you, @silvertop! It was incredibly delightful. (And I always thought I was an extrovert!) Ha ha.

Oh yes, napping would be inevitable. Especially when you're sitting by the fire drinking beer with a pleasant breeze keeping you cool.

Thank you! Yes, it would be so lovely to just walk across the street to your own private beach.

Thanks.

Thank you, @reachdreams. It is truly a beautiful place.

What a heart-breaking story, @nancybriti1. I loved it, and yet it was so sad. Ten years is of course too long to wait for a husband to return from sea, when you are certain he can no longer be living.

Your photos are amazing. Really wish I was there!

I'm glad you had a great time at HiveFest! It looks like a wonderful and relaxing trip home. It's interesting to compare the weather and scenery in different cities on the same day.

Gracias!
