When I left Starbucks tonight, I was shocked at how dark it was. Not even 9:00 and no trace of a sunset. The days are certainly shorter and that is a real reminder that summer is fading. I didn’t need a jacket tonight but the air is definitely cooler. I always mourn the loss of long days because it seems you can cram more living into them. You can visit with friends, read books on the beach until late, take leisurely walks, and putter around until the light fades in the summer. I seem to have missed doing that this year.
I have not read one complete book. I still have a host of friends with whom I want catch up. There have been few walks in here in town. I have a lot more thinking about things that occurred over the summer to do. Ack!! Where did summer go?
This photo is taken on the Alaskan cruise as we were pulling out of Ketchikan. I cannot remember the exact time but it is 9:30ish maybe. It was light for quite some time afterwards. My summer was much busier than I expected. I feel a bit of a crunch to do some of the things that I normally do but I may have to just breathe deeply and say that everything I did do was enough.
Peace,
Suzanne
