Goodbye, summer

Now that Labor Day has passed, I am lamenting summer's end. And a glorious weekend it was, too, filled with sunshine and temperatures in the low '80s. We lazed about, did purposeful things, ate outside, and took Julia to ride the kiddie train. But the days are quickly shortening, the nights turning cool and autumn is peeping around the corner at us. These are the last days of awakening to light, wearing shorts and sandals, and pretending the end of another year is far away.
