So Long, Farewell, Goodbye Summer

The nights are getting colder, the days are getting shorter, frost is on the lawn in the morning, the garden is maturing, kids are back in school, leaves are beginning to change color... All these things can mean only one thing: Summer is now over, and Fall is beginning! I love Fall, it's my favorite season!!! But the transition can be a little difficult for me. So, before I can fully welcome the Fall, I need to say goodbye to the Summer and all of its splendor. In June, I made a list of "Top Ten Things to Enjoy this Summer", and now everything on the list has been accomplished! So, here's a summary of the Top Ten List to acknowledge and celebrate the summer's passing!

Take care of our garden
Due to the funky-weathered season, our garden only produced pumpkin, cucumbers, and a few corn.

You can never spend enough time doing this!
