The days are getting shorter! I love September, but I will be sorry to have the summer slip away. So here in the last bits of it, when we are all starting back to school, or getting serious about post-summer resolutions, I give you this gallery of summery somewhat symmetrical leaf pictures. AND, another Barbara Ueland quote about the pleasures of work, since I have been thinking about her (and the pleasures of idleness) recently:

“Know that it is good to work. Work with love and think of liking it when you do it. It is easy and interesting. It is a privilege. There is nothing hard about it but your anxious vanity and the fear of failure.” -Barbara Ueland, If You Want to Write
