end of summer

I am always amazed how quickly time goes by.  This summer has been a bittersweet one with my mother no longer with us, and I have caught myself going to the phone to call and tell her about the arrival of the hummingbirds, a pretty rainbow, something my kids are doing...nothing important, but just things that we liked to talk about.

We did spend almost a month in Colorado, which was a wonderful, relaxing and cool change from the extremely hot weather we have had in Oklahoma.  Here are a few of the pictures from my summer that I hope will be inspiration for a quilt or two in the future.
