I used to be a Fall person, just like my Grammie. Fall and its smells, its crunchy leaves, the coolness and the sweaters and snuggles. I loved it! And here I go and move to New England--the CENTER of Fall! It is awesome here in Autumn!
And yet...well, I guess as time has gone on, as I have children who are school age, as I have experienced more and more fun in Summer...I have this bittersweet Love/Hate relationship with the Count-Down between late Summer and Fall. Not always, but a few times of the years, I have actually end up Missing Summer rather than Looking Forward to Fall. Don't get me wrong--once Autumn is definitely here, I embrace it like an old friend and I remember why I love it so...but...Summer...it is fleeting in my eyes, and I wish it could linger a bit more.
The Count-Down for school is upon us. The school supplies have been bought. The schedules are starting to form...but Summer is still here---and I am getting ready to make the most of it soon---as the Count Down to vacation begins this week. Saturday, we will be leaving for a week on Cape Cod, where many days of beach and sun and fun await...

Have a wonderful trip.
I am always terrible with the end of summer, so it's probably no surprise that I am having a really hard time watching summer wind down.
