IT'S OVER
That's it! Summer is finally done!
If you need any more evidence than the high of 63 today, check out my back yard where I closed the pool this afternoon. I'm always disappointed when I have to do that - apart from anything else, it looks a whole lot better out there with the blue of the pool than it does with a dull, brown liner for nine months of the year.
Ask me how many times I've been in it this summer. That's right - none!
But Gill has ventured in there a few times and the grandchildren have had some fun with it too, so it was worth having it, especially on the hotter days in July and August.
The next exciting event will be every single leaf on every single tree out there turning brown and dropping off. Some say fall is pretty, but not the poor beggar who has to pick up every single leaf off every single tree!
