So Long Sweet Summer

I'm not sure why, but summer decided to be about 95% faster and shorter this year than it usually is. Now, I'm a life-long New Englander. I like seasons to change. Just not so quickly.

Now here we are on the last day of August, and I haven’t done half of the things on my summer bucket list. There was no trip to Martha’s Vineyard, no outdoor movie screening, and a whole lot less beach time than I’d like. But I’m a glass is half full kind of girl, so I’ll focus on the awesome things I did get to experience…

...like Cape Cod sunsets



and Fourth of July fireworks!



Boating bliss...



…And Newport splendor.



For these, and for the sand in my toes, the nights around the fire pit, the barbeques and Atlantic ocean and Friday night concerts; the fresh fish and grilled corn and ice cream; the wedding bells and long walks and bike rides; the cold beer and hot sun and long, long days, thank you.

It’s been a blast...



…so bring on September!
