Ct2-l—carter Farming, Saturday, September 20,1980
Gee whiz, Summer, is it
time for you to go?
The heated relationship
we’ve had for the past
several weeks seems to be
cooling a bit And, while you
haven’t made any solid
commitments about leaving,
still, the subtle hints are
there.
For instance, you’ve
begun your season outburst
of decorating for your
farewell party. Scarlet
speckles are brightening the
green of the dogwoods and
golden overtones have
started creeping across
some of the plants on the
hillsides.
Up the road, the orchards
have donned the polka dots
of crimson apples, purple
plums and yellowing pews.
Suddenly the meadows are
outfitted in acres of
goldeorod, waving with the
winds in their cheerful lacy
costumes.
Then last week one night
you sneaked out to snatch
the green from the cornfields
and leave behind a dull,
listless, dusty brown instead.
The practical joke was too
much for most of die stalks,
and their ears are drooping
with frustration.
There’ll be some sadness
when you finally do go. We’ll
miss the special things we’ve
been sharing together; af
ternoon swims, supper on
the back porch, fiery red
gladiolus in the green vase
on the buffet and platters of
steaming sweet com just a
half-hour removed from the
field.

hazards

But, while you’re leaving,
don’t leave those few little
problems of yours behind.
The flies, for instances. And
hail. Poison ivy. And the
starlings eating pokeberries
in the trees over the
washline.
Now don’t forget we’ve
made a reservation here for
you next year. Y’all come
back now, hear?
