Summer, summer, summer: It's like a merry-go-round...listening to that old Cars' song in the shop today and realizing that summer is almost over. I have to say, I'm glad. I am happy school starts next week, happy to get back into a normal routine, and I'll be extra happy when temps drop a bit.
I love summer, don't get me wrong, but this one has seemed to drag on for me. I'm ready for 70-degree days, and fall breezes, and crackling leaves. I'm ready for the carnival to come to town. I'm ready for Halloween.
I've got the shop all decorated for fall now, and am working on making tons of new treats! It's always fun to make new stuff! To come up with new ideas!
It's totally by chance that I live where I live...my parents chose this as their home, so I did too...and I'm sure that there are a million awesome places to live in this world, but I'm so thankful to call NC home. I love that we have the mountains and the beach. I love that we have snow, and heat, and fall leaves, and fireflies. I love that just about the time we get tired of a season, we get to usher in a new one.
Someone said to me the other day that they hate fall, because winter comes after, and they hate winter the most. I find that a dreary way to look at the seasons. I like to instead look forward to each season, finding the good in each one, and know that when the "good" wears off, I can look forward to another season and the joys of that one. Without the long cold days, we wouldn't enjoy the days of lounging by the pool. Without the sweaty hot dog days of summer, we might not relish the cool fall evenings watching football games. I love winter, and nights by the fireplace and all the holidays with family. I love the newness of Spring and the first budding flowers. I love hearing the kids yell "Cannonball!" as they jump into the pool in summer. And I love Fall most of all. Yay!!! It's almost here!
