I have had one of the best summers ever. Every day it seems we are outside either weeding, harvesting or watering. We always leave plenty of time for play too. In this photo, my husband took the kids and neighbor girl Charlee on a hay ride. We thoroughly enjoyed each day this summer. I'm trying not to be sad that it's nearly over. I'm trying to get excited for fall, but I'm sorta dreading it. I don't want everyone to be gone and for the weather to be cold and wet again. I guess I want one more whole month of summer. I want the screen door slamming and the kids' music playing out on the drive-way. I will try to accept fall and get happy about it. I will do my best. I know there are special joys coming my way, it's hard to give up paradise, which is what Oregon is in summer. "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens..." Ecclesiastes 3:1

This has been a good summer around here too. While most of the country had record heat we've had a mild summer and it cools off so nicely at night that it's easy to fall asleep. No back to school for us (except college) this year. I'm excited about the changes in my life this fall and not dreading it at all, but then again, I'm almost an empty nester. I dread having the nest empty so I'm trying to just enjoy it while I can!
I know, I feel the same way! The only thing I won't miss is mowing the lawn:)
What a great picture!!!! Our summer, here in Oklahoma, has been one of the hotest on record so we are plenty ready for fall.
Thanks for leaving me the 2 sweet comments, especially the one after reading about our precious Suzette.
I know.....it's not fair! Summer barely just started. I did not have a very good one, we did a few fun things, but did not do the fun traditional things like going to the swimming holes and hanging out at the river. We also got rid of the pool. Booo hooo....
