as summer ends........

even though it felt like summer ended with the first day of school - the true end of summer comes later tonight as we welcome the season of autumn.  i'm definitely feeling the shift - and the sense of being off balance - that the transition brings.

so before i begin to revel in the excitement that autumn brings - i want to share a bit of how we filled our summer days.

country fairs full of food, friends and smells (good and bad!)



amusement parks filled with old favorites and new thrills...some local - some worth the drive



hikes through woods, across boulders and up waterfalls

swimming in pools, lakes and creeks

all in all a wonderful few months! good bye summer!
