The other night I was outside, grilling some grub. I decided to have a sit-down and a little vino.
This weekend is sort of the unofficial end of summer, and I for one am not quite ready to let go. I know the kids have been back in school for a few weeks now, and that doesn’t make a lick of difference. This kid is still enjoying herself. Still wanting a bit more pool time. Still wanting to cook outside. Still wanting to relish daylight as long as possible. I’m not ready for early sunsets or winter food or a change of season. I’m just not.
But I’ll ride it out, just like everyone else. And when the time does come, I’ll transition into autumn. If I know me at all, I’ll probably be grateful and excited and all smiley about it, too.
But for now, cheers to summer! It’s been pretty fabulous, and I’ll take every drop I can get.
