Is summer over yet????

Is summer over yet???? Please don't hate me for saying this but the older I get the more I really dislike summer. My husband is gone most of the time, heat gives me sun-stroke so on really hot days (like the ones we have been having this summer) I have to stay inside... and so on and so forth. We never get to take holidays like most families and every year I just find myself waiting for fall to begin. Because I LOVE fall. It's no coincidence that my blogger main picture is fall leaves and that my wedding Anniversary is September 27th. I love the crisp autumn air. I love the food that's prepared; the soup, the casseroles- all the comfort foods that I have been craving in BBQ season. Then there is Thanksgiving which just so happens to be my 2nd favourite holiday, following Christmas. I love taking my boys for a walk in the evening, when there is a chill in the air and I bundle them up with sweaters and blankets. To me, Fall screams family and warmth and togetherness. So before you throw me under the bus for bashing summer just think of the turkey dinner we will all be enjoying in less than 2 short months. The cranberry jelly, the pumpkin pie and sitting around the dinner table discussing all we are thankful for.

Maybe someday I will enjoy the hot summer days, when the boys are old enough to lube themselves up with sunscreen and know to keep their hat on. Until then, I will look forward to the cooler days of fall.
