Summer is Over
This is the last Friday for summer. The kids go back to school this coming Monday. It seems like only a couple weeks ago we were waiting for them to be done school so we could make our trip to New Brunswick. That was over in a flash, then a week of nothing followed by a week visit with some great friends from Edmonton. Summer has been rushing past us ever since.
I feel like it was wasted away and that we didn’t do enough, however, this is the first summer we’ve had where we were busy doing loads of stuff. It was a good summer, I’m sad to see it go.
I am, however, looking forward to the fall. As much as I feel bad for our Edmonton friends, where autumn lasts approx a weekend, I couldn’t believe what it was like here last year. I grew up with very similar seasons as a kid, but growing up you don’t take the time to notice them. Take it away and swap it with 10 years of 5 months of ridiculous cold and you’d forget too.
So, as another summer has come and gone and we plan for the fall, I’m glad I can look back and be happy that we didn’t waste our days of sun and warmth with mindless TV, video games and movies inside… that will happen when the first snowflake falls, which could be as late as the middle of December like last year :)
