The Natural Joys Of Late Summer: Rockwood


Don't be fooled by the myth that summer ends at Labor Day.
Remember: Summer doesn't REALLY end till September 23.
So, there are still nearly three weeks of summer to go. That leaves you plenty of time to savor summer's late-blooming joys. And there's plenty to savor.
We recently took a trip to Rockwood Park in New Castle County, Delaware and found much to enjoy: beautiful blooms, tall trees, lush meadows, rocks, creeks and inviting pathways.
Open your eyes, s-l-o-w  d-o-w-n  and take note of your surroundings. Nature is still displaying her summer finery with deep greens and vivid blossoms. In fact, this is one of the most stunningly gorgeous times of the year. It's dazzling!
And right now we're being treated to refreshingly cool weather.
So get out -- explore and enjoy!
