Salute to Summer !!

I am looking at the calendar and feeling a bit shocked that it is the last week in August. YIKES! I just love summer. I have a lot of free time and really enjoy myself. In order to salute the summer, I went around and took some pictures to express some of my favorite aspects of summer. I am hoping once winter arrives, I can look back at these photos and feel warm and toasty!
I have been a "fish" since I was a kid! I love being poolside! (I am a Pisces afterall.) This summer, I did laps at least twice a week! I also enjoyed some relaxation time on my raft. I have my Mom to thank for letting me come over whenever I want to swim! The pool is one thing I miss the most once summer fades away!

I love to spend time in my garden. It is nice to see the fruits of my labor as summer progresses. This summer my garden has really come together after four previous years of hard work, pulling out old bushes, and trying different arrangements of flowers. Colorful flowers make me happy! Yes, these are my sneakers. What do they have to do with summer? I wear these sneakers whenever I go for an evening walk with my husband. We wander around our neighborhood, talk about a variety of things, and just enjoy some time together. It reminds me of the days when we were dating and we would go for romantic walks and talk about our furture. Summer walks are peaceful and lovely!

Summer always goes way too fast! I must admit Fall is my favorite season, but I sure will miss summer once it is very, very cold outside!
