Summer of....Life

I refuse to believe that summer is nearing an end.  I'm not ready to go beyond what has likely been one of the best summers ever!  At least in recent memory.  Can't I hold on just a little longer?  Extend the inevitable indefinitely?

Sure, it's only mid-August but commercials tout back to school and stores everywhere display Halloween paraphenalia and worse - winter wear!  The bright palette of summer has been replaced by the earthy colours of fall and the blacks and greys of winter.

The days grow shorter.  The suns rays not so bright and warm.  There is a briskness to the breeze that bears cooler evenings.  People are layered.  The sand cold on my feet.

One can only hope for an Indian summer that lasts through November....
