Back to school…what!?

Okay, so as I am clinging to the last weeks of summer,  (we go back Aug 21st I think) I can’t help but be a little put off. I mean, back to school stuff is one thing, but halloween stuff!? Seriously? I even heard a rumor that a craft mega store already had out the thanksgiving stuff. Come on, now. Surely you don’t mean that.

I mean, there is something to be said about living in the moment, right!? And I know that while it hardly seems of life threatening importance, that brand of forward mindedness is  scary! Think of the potential damage that could be had by rushing through life! If I’m buying turkey platters in July, what am I missing? The sunshine, heat, barbecue, music, parties, lemonade, sunburns!

I don’t want to look back, in November, and say, “where did the summer go?” I want to enjoy it while its here, and I surely don’t want to waste what I see as an entirely enjoyable time of year.

Summer, to me, is about life and vibrance! If spring is birth, then summer must be youthful exuberance! I’ll admit, here in Texas, it gets mighty hot…(though lately, its been monsoon season here… wtf?) but I can’t say I don’t love it.

So, I soak up this sun, and I assure you. you won’t see any pumpkins in my house till November… Well, maybe October.
