The End of Summer

The last couple nights it has dipped into the 50's at night here in New Jersey. It was reminder that summer is coming to an end. Of course, Labor Day has come and gone and Nate is back in school but here are some other reminders I thought of.....

1. I had to work a full day on Friday.
2. I can barely get Church and a round of golf in on a Sunday.
3. The hockey equipment and the golf clubs were in the car at the same time, soon to give way to just the hockey equipment.
4. I made bread today for the first time since the spring (yes, the bread likes to rise in the summer heat, but I can't bring myself to fire up a 500 F oven when it's 90+ deg outside)
5. I didn't buy salad stuff when I went shopping today
6. The tomato plants in the garden are turning brown and it's time to harvest the remaining tomatoes.
7. I have to wear socks with my shoes.
8. It's time to make the reservations to go to San Diego at New Years
   

Don't get me wrong - I love the fall. The days are crisp and the air just feels new and clean. Not to mention the color in the leaves. Of course it is easier to enjoy the leaves when you don't have to rake them - ahhh, the joys of renting.
