Are We Taking Advantage Of Our Seasons???

The last few days have been really hot sticky humid days here in Connecticut, so I have been having to water the grass and flower more so than usual. As I was watering the flowers in front of the house I started to notice that they were beginning to show signs that summer is coming to an end and that fall is around the corner.

It is amazing how mother nature knows what time of the season it is, no matter what the weather is like it knows its time. It knows when it is time to bloom and when it is time to let its leaves fall. This made me wonder, do we have the same sense when it comes to our business? Do we do what needs to be done during our seasons? Do we plant when we need to plant? Do we water and grow during our growing season? And do we fully take advantage of our harvest time?

Funny how something as simple as watering flowers can make us reflect upon ourselves, and are we taking advantage of our seasons to grow our business? These are questions that only we can answer ourselves, and hopefully answer them honestly.

George - My husband and I were just talking about how the leaves on a couple of the trees in our yard are already starting to change. Can it be that summer is near its end so soon? It could lose the heat and humidity but I do so enjoy the summer months.

Yes, fall is in the air.. or at least so some of the trees think! There are a few signs of fall in NH, but it is very hot and humid... it feels like the tropics.

Donna, before to long the leaves will start to fall.

Joan, it seems that like summer just started, and yet it is almost over.

That is a gorgeous photo -- thanks for sharing with us all.

George, I love the flowers, we do need to take time to reflect. You need to come west, no humidity, we have heat, but in 5-10 minutes and you are in the cool relief of the mountains.... scenery is nice too.

Bob & Carolin, thank you.

Debbie, you are lucky. The good thing for us is that these really hot, humid, sticky days usually only last a couple of weeks per year.

George,

Obviously we don't really have any season because its usually pretty hot here 99% of the time but I like to go back to experience what I did when I grew up in NY.

George, great analogy and you are so so right! We getting so busy "blooming", we forget to water the seedlings don't we. Gorgeous flower though George!

Neil I think I would miss the change in seasons if I lived somewhere else.

Al and Peggy, we can learn some very valuable lessons form mother nature.

Hi George....just wanted to come by and say hi, and look what I found: a wonderful contemplative post. There really is a time and a season for all things, and nature is the best teacher for this. Hope everyting is well with you and yours.

George,

I am certain we do not take advantage. This is why there are so many "I wish I would have.(fill in the blank)..."

George, i know exactly what you are talking about. I too had been watering daily before we received an abundance of rain, and came up with an excellent topic to post about weeds. Enjoyed reading this!

George what a beautiful flower. This year with all the rain summer passed me by and just around the corner is fall which I love. I agree, each season have something special to offer.

Kathy everything is great, I have not seen much of you around here, and was also wondering if everything was OK with you, so it was great to see your face pop up on my screen :) :)

Ann, there are to many blanks for me to beginning to fill in myself :)

Diane I will stop by and read it when you post it.

Jennifer each season is special, just like each season of our lives is also special.
