I love summer! I love the heat, the sun, the smiles of everyone enjoying the great weather! I love sitting outside and reading the paper or having a nap. I love connecting with neighbours who are out and about, also enjoying the summer...and I love sitting in a backyard with friends enjoying a drink and maybe a dip in the pool!
As August comes to a close and I hear all the ads on the radio for "the most wonderful time of the year" and back to school sales, I know summer is coming to an end. I'm starting to think about all the things I didn't do this summer and I can't help but feel a little bummed. I think summer should last as long as winter does.
That said, fall is almost upon us and you know what, I love the fall! I love the colours, the sunny days and cool nights and the parade of kids heading back to school! I love the predictable routine that returns after summer holidays and the return of my favourite tv shows as the fall tv schedule begins. And I love digging out my favourite sweatshirts and thinking about the return of Kitchener Ranger hockey!
While I'm not a big fan of the cold that comes with winter, or driving in snow and ice...I am grateful for the change that comes with each season. For the opportunity to embrace the best of each season and the beauty that comes with it. And I guess being a Canadian means tolerating winter even if I don't want to!
I'm getting ahead of myself...winter is still (hopefully) months away! It's pool party time and I still have some summer things to enjoy!! I'm going outside!
