Summer's beauty gone too soon in the Old West Side
By Dennis Sparks
Some of the Old West Side's beauty is not evident from its sidewalks or streets, such as these flowers found in a picnic nook behind Mathematical Reviews, first observed from Bach's playground. Although this photo is just two weeks old, I see various reminders in mid-August that summer's vivid colors will soon be replaced by their fall counterparts.

Gone, have you lost your mind. This has been a tremendous growing season, and I hope we get pounded with rain tomorrow. There's plenty of life and vegetation on the West Side. And, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you. I just think this has been an excellent summer.

I don't live in that area of town, but my flowers are starting to fade as well. The sad thing is I haven't had a red tomato yet!
