Winding Down

The air is crisper
The days are getting shorter
Summer seems to be winding down
In ways I am excited for fall....

The harvest of my garden gets into full swing
The weather cools down
The kids go back to school
Bowling starts
Yard work decreases
The leaves change to bright bold colors.

In ways I wish the summer would last a little longer....

The kids go back to school
I will miss them, our summertime activities
and our summer hours
More summer means putting off Bailee going to college
It will soon be time for jeans and shoes
No more flip flops
Late night movies and chats
Fresh watermelon and cantaloupe
Bright warm sunshine
Flowers
and the list goes on

It's a double edged sword
this changing from summer to fall

I am truly a person who loves and looks forward

to all four seasons.

This is one of the main reasons I love living in Utah

we have all four distinct seasons.

But...I still feel melancholy at the end of each one.

I guess it's the passing of time.

The changes of life that comes with the passing of time.

I just wish it didn't have to pass so fast.
