Summers' End

by: Sara Stanley

A chorus of crickets chirp loud and cheerful; the grasshoppers jump from one blade of browned grass to the other; after barn chores, the farmer's daughter goes for evening walks through hay fields; a lazy summer afternoon is spent fishing and snoring by little boys; wheat fields are ready for harvest; and Canadian geese fly honking over yonder and gracefully land in creeks and pastures. 
The PEI summer quietly gives its last peak of beauty, and then gently fades away during the months of August and September.
