Ode to Summer

Dear Summer,
Oh how we've loved
your sunshine,
cool breezes,
late nights,
lazy days by the pool,
barbeques,
baseball games,
trips to the beach,
and
time with family.

We pause for a moment
on this Labor Day,
to mourn your passing...

...and promise to think of you fondly...

...on those gray winter days that last so long.

The days are definately getting shorter and the nights cooler. I hate to admit it too. But summer has slipped away!

Awesome stuff happening off that diving board there! Looks like a beautiful day at the pool. Yes, summer will be missed by all, but you'll have great memories with these pictures;) OR you can come to my house where summer lingers a little longer!

How did you get the pool all to your self? Love the pics and I too am sad to see the Summer go. Although I LOVE fall!
