happy (cold and wet) labour day, everyone!

It's raining. And cold.

Astonishing, because today is the day before school starts. I remember running around in shorts and sandals every year, incredulous that THIS was supposed to be fall and that tomorrow the summer would be gone.
We used to go to the beach as an-end-of-summer tradition, and it would feel like any other endless summer day, with only the faintest pall of tomorrow-won't-be-like-this surfacing as the sun began to go down and the wind blew cooler.

This year? It might not be so hard to get those grumbling children out of their pj's and onto the bus - after all, who wants to play in the rain?

Crummy! It's hot and somewhat muggy here today. I'm in a tank top and shorts. I love summer - I'm always a little (ok, a lot) sad when fall comes. I can't appreciate the leaves turning colour because I know that snow, cold and ick will be next...
