Normally, when summer ends, the temperatures fall. Sometimes they plummet. Other times they float and sway downward like falling leaves. However, by the end of September, I am usually debating as to whether or not to turn on the heat, or just to head off winter’s approach just a little bit longer.
Summer, this year, has decided to give a long goodbye.
I know summer will leave soon. The days have already grown shorter and the leaves on the trees are changing, albeit a little slower than they normally do. I can feel the crisp coolness in the air. It will be time for jackets and later boots — just not yet.
Summer is letting me down easy and I can’t complain. I’m going to miss this weather and I want to savor the warmness as long as I can.
