The Sweetness of Summer

On my bike ride a few days ago, I felt the first chill in the early morning. Is summer really leaving? The heat and bugs and lingering sunlight make it seem almost eternal. Now that I realize it is ending I feel almost sad. This was the season when the kids were young and happy and so blissfully free. Does this time really end?

What fun. Spraying your sister with the hose.

I remember the summer before you started school. It did feel like you all were so young and happy and free. Luckily, I got to feel that way, too. What fun memories!
