Day 33:
According to the equinox calendar summer ended on September 21, even though fall hadn't yet shown its true colors. But for me, summer ended this evening.
For me the end of summer wasn’t marked by Labor Day, it didn’t end with the start of school.
For me, summer ended this evening as I deflated the rafts for our pool – a task I delayed so as to not have to face the reality of a season gone by.
As the air was forced from these lazy day devices I felt the sweetness of summer dissipate…the days containing long afternoons spent floating sunny-side-up for the sake of soaking up her rays will not return for another nine months.
Tonight I learned that I already miss summer.

Im really gonna miss summer... but when its summer I miss winter, so i guess im never really happy weather wise. I do like this wind though it feels really spiritual to me, like flowing and carrying a story from the place it just came from. But i really am gonna miss summer, the endless amount of lazy days and soaking up the sunshine.... ahhhhhhh :]
