I'm always sad when summer comes to an end. The hot summer days spent hanging out at the lake, swimming, summer vacation, hammocking with my favorite little Chihuahua, and so on. I miss the stunning red hot summer sunsets, or the way the pink sky reflects off the water. I miss the carefree feeling of the entire season.
However, I do always look forward to fall. I love cider mills, pumpkins, Halloween, fingerless gloves, and hoodies. I always look forward to the pumpkin patch and baking fall like goodies. I look forward to a cooler house and cooler nights with the windows open, feeling the crisp fall air on my face while I sleep.
So, on saying farewell to summer, I'll say that it was a nice one. Many trips to the park were enjoyed, a trip to Tawas, Higgin's Lake were enjoyed, and then a small tour of Michigan, up to the U.P., St. Ignace and Munising, and down to Traverse City, I've seen a lot of beautiful things my state has to offer. There were bonfires, evening walks, stargazing nights, and a lot of hot, sticky nights thanks to the weather.
Now I can look forward to the impending season, watching the colors change on a little mini-holiday next month, Halloween parties, and Halloween itself (my favorite holiday.) Goodbye sweet summer, see you next year. Welcome harvest season!
