Summer Is Over
Four days into our school year, and summer seems like a distant memory now.
I'm thinking back, just two weeks ago, sitting on this beach near Seattle, on the Puget Sound. The kids played in the sand and water the entire day, digging for clams and crabs and other creatures of the intertidal zone. The parents sat and watched, happy that their children could find contentment in such simple activities.
It won't be long before the kids will be digging snow tunnels and building snow creatures.
They're already talking about Halloween costumes.
And I saw my first Christmas tree display at the store today.
Summer is over.

Hah! Xmas displays have been up for weeks out here already. Smacks of retailer desperation.
Christmas trees in non Christmas specality stores before Halloween should be illegal.
Christmas trees in non Christmas specality stores before Thnksgiving makes me not want to shop in that store...
Same here some shop had a X-mas card stall up and I just thought No No No, way to early!! X-mas is now loosing it's magic amd meaning, all about money. So sad!
Spring is not yet in the air here though, cold wet and windy weather still.
Well and truly, we received our first letter from the school today, and it was about plans for October half-term.
What ever it is Christmas is the best day in my entire life.
