Missing Summer Already

Officially the seasons do not change until later in September, but already the transition is in the air. Schools have re-started. Fall decor and even Halloween costumes are on sale. Pre-season NFL games began last weekend. Autumn has arrived.

Bye, bye summer.

Long days. Hot nights. Humid air. Allergies. Summer gardens. Chalk art. Bike rides. Swim parties. Naps under the ceiling fan. Hours at the library pouring over books.

These are now enjoyments of the recent past.

Hello cooler weather. Crisp evenings. Football and marching band seasons. Pumpkin carving and trick or treating. And of course, our fall fish fry!

Sigh.

See you next year summer! Bye for now...
