SUMMER, IT’S TIME TO LEAVE

I like summer, I really do. It’s one of my favourite seasons. 

Little dresses

Summer salads

Biking

Swimming

Roses blooming

Not having to wear EVERYTHING just to survive outside.

Summer is easy, breezy and it warms my bones. Yeah, it’s a great time.

But even the sweetest of guests can sometimes overstay their welcome and this year, summer, you missed your cue!

This is the first week of September. The littles are excitedly lining up to catch that big yellow bus and head back to school. But are they wearing their new fall sweaters and jackets? NO! It is hot, record breaking hot out there. 

This is my outdoor very Canadian thermometer at 5:00 pm today:

That’s 30 degrees Celsius in the shade at 5:00 pm. In the sun, closer to 40! 

Pumpkin spice anything is on the shelf; we want crisp, fresh fall air to enjoy those! I have no inclination to turn the oven on and bake a pie or roast a chicken. 

Summer is short in Canada, but so is Fall and we want to enjoy all its charms too. So, Summer, it’s time to move on. You’ve had your moment and we love you, but it’s time to leave!

  1. Just thinking of those poor kids and teachers in classes with no AC. Today should bring some relief here in Peterborough anyway. I have friends camping this week so they are still living the summer dream…

  2. Well written Cyndi but I'msure there are some who will disagree with you. It is what it is.
