Slipping Away

Today, looking out the front window, I looked closely at the leaves already on the ground and the changing colors still in the trees. It won't be long until fall comes. Fall...oh fall. Fall makes me crazy. The leaves falling make me want to dig my nails into the last remaining days of summer and make them stay around a little longer.

Stay longer so I can enjoy the sunshine, enjoy the easy pace of no real schedules. Stay longer so I can enjoy my tank tops, bikini, and shorts. Stay longer so I can wear flip flops and forget about the 45+ pairs of high heels in the closet for a little bit.

Fall coming makes me pace in circles; makes me want to clean my house with the windows open one last time. Fall coming makes me want to stay awake later so I can enjoy the warm temps more and get more time on the deck.

For the next few weeks, if you need me, find me on the deck...soaking it all up and enjoying the last remants of summer. Of course, in my tank top, flip flops, and shorts. I'll be working on keeping my tan a little longer.
