…summer gathers up her robes of glory,
and like a dream of beauty glides away.
~Sarah Helen Power Whitman
In Texas the fierce summer sun of August is not for sissies nor the faint of heart, be they plants or people. My great grandparents came here in a covered wagon from the east, and I’ve always said that had I been on that wagon and we had arrived in August, I would have either kept on going west or turned that wagon around and headed right back from whence we came.
For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant… ~Excerpt from James 1:11 ✝

Oh I know that feeling. I came here close to winter so didn’t realize how hot it could get until the next spring. That hurt especially since I came from Alaska.

We are now heading into spring but are still having frosty nights. Can you imagine the women in the heat with all their clothing? They were true pioneers. Lovely post Natalie

Oh how I’d love a frosty night or two just to cool things down a bit. No, I can’t. It would have been awful in this heat to have all those kinds of clothes on! They were indeed true pioneers in so many ways. I can’t imagine living isolated on these prairies that rattlesnakes roamed wither. I’m glad you enjoyed the post, R. Hugs, N 🙂 ❤
