Sadly, at least for me, Summer is coming to an end. Summer is my favorite season. I love the warm weather, the opportunity to go to the beach or hang out by a pool. Cool drinks, refreshing treats like ice cream, and fun outings like picnics and barbecues. And then after Labor Day, it all officially comes to an end. Now time for the kids to look forward to Halloween and families starting to plan for Thanksgiving.
Yes, Summer is ending, but a whole new season is about to take it's place. The weather will start to cool down and the leaves will begin to turn colors. Instead of putting food on the grill, the slow cookers and roasting pots will start to make their appearance. Recipes for favorite soups, stews and casseroles will be dusted off and their delicious scents will soon fill the air.

Fashion will also change. Light weight clothes will go into storage. Long sleeves, sweaters and long pants will once more reign supreme. What to wear will not only have to be fashionable but must also be able to keep you warm and cozy.
Am I sorry that Summer is ending? Yes, I have to say that I am. However, new and different days are ahead. Students have returned to school. Halloween candy is starting to show up on store shelves. Pretty soon, talk of turkey, secret family recipes of stuffing and pies will soon grace dining room tables. And should I mention the holiday ornaments, Christmas carols and Santa Clause that will soon make an appearance? So rather than lament about the season that has gone by, rejoice in the seasons that are yet to be.
