GOOD
BYE, SUMMER….
I have been
hanging on with my tips of fingers to summer.
Still
wearing shorts and tank tops.. but instead of the early
morning… it
is more like noon. As the mornings are
averaging 55. The hot sun is gone… went
somewhere during our smoke outs from all the fires in Idaho
and the ones drifting down from Canada
and across from Washington
The smoke
got so bad that people were wearing mask to the stores… my heart really went
out to those with breathing problems in the first place and the smoky days
almost did them in. Mandatory staying in their houses, with windows shut and
curtains to help keep the smoke out of their houses.
But now we
are heading into September, and the temps are a lot lower than 3 weeks ago
before the smoke.
It always
makes me sad when summer winds down, and fall starts. Fall is beautiful with
all its glory of colors.. but I prefer the summer temps, and long days of
sunshine. I live for sunshine. And as you age, the summers seem shorter.
I am not
ready to put my tank tops and shorts away, quite yet… hoping for a long Indian
summer… but in my heart of hearts I know that winter will be upon us before we
know it.
