Summertime and the Livin' is Easy

Summertime is slowly fading.  And I'm not ready. Not ready to give up my carefree days. Not ready for a nearly 3rd grader.  But, alas, I must get back to routine. The traditional backpack and lunch box are waiting to be packed.  The morning rush is awaiting. There is cursive to be learned.  Multiplication facts to be memorized.

But for now, I will soak up these last few days of summer with lots of outside time and savor the shaved ice snow cones from the sno-shack.  I will hang on to the warmer evenings and longer days.  Because all too soon, they will be fading into cool fall nights.
