Summer is Slipping Away

I am at work and have a b'zillion things to cross of my Balance List today, but needed to put into words how sad I am that summer is slipping away. I am not usually a huge summer person, in fact I rather prefer the snow in winter, but this year I got the sun-bug and am sad that it is almost September. Maybe because I know my coined "summer hours" are going away (okay, I don't really have "summer hours" at work, but at least I am a little more sane during these months than I am in the fall!). Or maybe it's just because I remember how much I used to enjoy the freedom of the summer and the end of it still leaves me with the melancholy feeling of going back to something. So, as I glance out my window at work and see the sun shining, I'll just remember that next week will be one more week up north at the cabin and I'll enjoy that for all it's worth before I hit the road this fall.
