wow, is it really that time again? time for summer to go and for fall to officially arrive? seriously? oh sweet summer once again i feel like you went by so quickly, yet when i look back at the beginning it seems like such a long time ago. funny how that is... i really do feel though that this was a truly good summer this year. one with a good balance of being busy enough and yet slow enough at the same time... one with a good balance of perfectly sunny filled beach days and some of the wildest thunder storms i've ever seen. one with a good balance of days spent traveling and days spent simply right at home. one with a good balance of bears & racoons, ice cream & homemade pies, phlox & dahlias, tomatillos & peppers, chard & bluberries, the ocean & the pool, skateboards & bicycles, etc... lots to look back on and remember, for now the seasonal energy is shifting for sure and i think i hear my mother earth calling. cheers to summer 08 and a big warm welcome to autumn. happy fall.
