It’s September 1, 2021. We are still about 20 days away from it officially being fall. Please don’t get me wrong, I love the fall, all aspects as a matter of fact! BUT, I’m not done with the summer. Not just yet.
I hate the idea of closing up our pool. I never feel like I have had enough time, no matter how much time I have had. This year has had some rather interesting temperatures and for a while it was too chilly for our night swims. I love a good night swim. And now they are calling for a cool down for the Labor Day weekend. I feel like Charlie Brown, GOOD GRIEF!!!
I think I am holding on to this summer because of my grandbabies. They have been so much fun! They have loved the pool and I have loved spending time with them in it. In the middle of raising children you don’t always realize how fast and fleeting those moments are. You are in the middle of the hustle from sun up to sun down and all in between. But I, as Grandmomma, know that I won’t get this summer back. The precious smiles of this summer won’t be the same ones I get next summer. Always changing and growing. I just want to soak it all in.
Now please don’t get me wrong. I love a good pumpkin spice anything! However, I don’t think it should come out til at least September 1st. I think it’s written somewhere that it’s sacrilege or something. And although I will welcome it in with wide open arms, I just need a couple more fun pool days. A couple more family cook outs, although we actually do that all year. But you know what I mean. Maybe even one more day at the beach. So even though fall is drawing near, it is technically a few days away. And with life passing by so quickly, please forgive me for not wishing these days away.
And since it is September 1st, I think I will at least have that pumpkin spice latte now!
Much Love, Jenni
