This summer, especially this month, has been a blur. It's the end of August already and we have hardly even started shopping for back to school supplies and clothes! Finn keeps asking me to sign him up for preschool (our once a week ECFE program) and is insistent that he needs a backpack. He told me this morning he also needs to bring a lunch to preschool (he does not). We've been away from our house (and our Uriah) more this month than we've been together, although we did get a mini-family-vaca last weekend. And a whole, uninterrupted 24 hours with Uriah to swim and boat and build sandcastles together.
Summer weather has finally hit the north shore and it is hot and humid and I have fans everywhere and windows open wide in a vain attempt to get a cross breeze blowing through our house. These are the two weeks of summer that I wish for an air conditioner. I know that this too shall pass and I wish I could bottle up this heat so that in January I can remember the smell of humid grass in the early morning and clouds heavy with raindrops that do not fall. In the meantime we are meeting some friends for a picnic and some swimming...a fun way to cool down.
And then we will pack up and leave again tomorrow.
Oh, summer...our love affair is fleeting.
