8/52 goodbye summer
photo of the week. refreshments at the playground.
it seems like we just got our new bathing suits
and sandals.
we only went to the beach once
so it can't really be over.
only a few trips to rita's
and to oma's pool.
and really not that many tomato sandwiches made yet.
i was just getting use to the idea of summer.
it just started, right?
we took advantage of
local, seasonal produce
and have stored some away
for the cold rootvegetableandappleonly winter ahead.
our freezer is literally packed with the
fruits of our labor.
we prepared blueberries
and peaches
and cherries
and nectarines
and tomato sauce
and pesto.
maybe just one more watermelon.
a few more ears of corn.
some cantalope.
and just one crabfeast would be nice.
just a bit more of summer, please?
one more camping trip.
one more dip in the ocean.
one more afternoon in the backyard
watching naked babies splash and
squeal as i blow bubbles into the air.
goodbye lazy, dog days of summer.
autumn, here we come!
that baby chub is just so stinkin cute!
ReplyDeleteyes, where did summer go? I hope next summer we can at least get in one camp trip, one trip to SF to see a baseball game, one trip to Santa Cruz to go to the board walk and photobooth and play in the ocean, one trip to the desert for art class and one trip to the desert to watch the meteor showers... all the things I missed this summer, but then I realize what a big thing I gained and it really does make up for it!
happy autumn, here's to candy corn, pumpkins, turkey and ham. here's to cool evenings and cool mornings. to the leaves changing and to one of my favorite seasons of the year!
i love that chubby bumpkins. how sweet!
ReplyDeletejust think, now he gets to experience cider, leaf collecting and piles, sweaters, HALLOWEEN!, turkey time... he's gonna love it!
i'm finally coming to terms with the fact that summer's really over...
ReplyDeleteand stepping into the different kind of warmth this new season brings.
wouldn't autumn be a wonderful time to curl up with the a cuppa tea and the telephone and have that nice little chat that's so long overdue ;-)
happy autumn to you and yours beautiful mama.
vanessa: last summer, for me, too, was all about birthing and having a newborn. next summer is going to be so fun for you! of course, this summer has been a journey all by itself. : D
