August = Almost Over

Summer is slip sliding away. In a good way though. It's been nearly two months of back yard barbeques, rough housing with the dog in the late evening sunlight, tall boys of PBR, and endless watering of the withering front grass. I love summer, even as it fades. Part of the love is in the anticipation of a beautiful fall - the summer sun's work comes to full glory in the turning leaves of October - raking them from the lawn that we fretted over all summer and it all seems to come full circle. As we wear down August, and enter into September, my days on the porch will only lengthen, though the sun will grow more brief - I'll be holding on to summer and the simple moments it provides...but at the same time, i'll be yearning for fall and the wonder it provides.

What do you love about the summer?
