Enough Summer

Summer. It has come and gone, flown by almost imperceptibly.

I remember June 3rd. I saw the whole season stretched out before me and it wasn’t a happy picture. It felt long and arduous, and I knew I’d find myself begging for an end.

And now here we are, at the end. Tomorrow is the last day of freedom for school begins Monday morning. Surprisingly, I'm not ready to close that door.

I did not take enough (any) pictures, we did not enjoy enough lazy summer days or lick enough sweet and sticky popsicles. We didn’t play enough, slip-n-slide enough, sleep in enough, or go to the beach enough. There was not enough lounging by the pool or lying out under the stars at night.

But we did do all of those things…maybe there is no such thing as “enough” summer.

Though I suppose we could do with a little less of this intense heat!

I feel the same. But at least I didn't procrastinate and actually finally came to see you! That was a memorable day for me. Thank you.

I agree. Yesterday was busy and harried, I already miss summer. :)

Yep, me too. The summer felt long but it FLEW by. My one and only trip to the beach was that one day with the young women! I was worried about boredom so we had nature camp, swim lessons, etc. But it was too much. Oh well, they had fun!
