"Desperately Seeking Summer"
Atlantic City, New Jersey
How do I know summer is outta here? Besides Labor Day being the "unofficial" end to summer? Two big clues this past weekend...
1. My first pumpkin ale.
2. Pumpkin coffee made it's appearance on the shelves at Wawa
It's official. Sayonara summer. Seems I hardly got to know ya. Truth-be-told, I'm always happy when a change of season arrives. Altho I didn't have much time to relax and travel the way I usually do during the summer this year, I'm sure I'll get to enjoy that on the flip side in 2015. In the meantime bring on my boots, sweaters, Penn State sweatshirts, football games, cool air and warm colors, complaining about Christmas decor on the shelves before I've even bought a pumpkin, waking up to the sound of my neighbor's leaf blower at some ungodly morning hour, and I can not lie...NO MORE RE-RUNS ON T.V.! How can ya not love Fall?
Ahhhh, one other thing I love about Fall. I do my BEST travelling plans this time of year. Interesting factoid...If you are sitting on a pier in Atlantic City gazing out across the Atlantic, do ya know what you'd see on the banks of Europe gazing directly back at you? Lisbon, Portugal. Yeah, the Better Half found it this is probably gonna cost me money interesting I'd point that out to him too. The wheels are turning. Gosh I love Fall.
Happy Labor Day!
Here's where I "link up" today.

ReplyDeleteStill looking we didn't have much of a summer here in Ohio. See ya tomorrow for Song Ography Tuesday
ReplyDeleteWith you on the football....forgive my attachment to the Oregon Ducks. And the Pats. Saturday morning there was a wonderful, hint of things to come, chill in the air....made me so happy! Last week I was screaming "NO" inside about the end of summer....and I may not be quite on the band-wagon yet, but I'm getting there. Love your fall list!
ReplyDeleteAnd as we always say, it's a change of season here too - just the opposite one! Travel plans sound exciting. Renee
ReplyDeleteIt is dwindling, although the heat finally showed up! So ready for some Football and chilly mornings.
ReplyDeleteNot much summer here in Toronto either. Had a great few days of HOT in DC last week at least.
ReplyDeleteI want to hold onto summer, but I feel her slipping away.
ReplyDeleteSo hot in GA...and I've got the Fall itch. :)
ReplyDeleteWe will hold on as long as we can to the sun in the PNW, but yes, ya gotta love fall!
ReplyDeleteI love it, too. We are sweltering here in GA. Fall gets all those creative juices flowing again. I hope fall brings about some interesting travel plans for you.
ReplyDeleteI love your photo to go along with your goodbye to summer. I'm starting to get used the idea of Fall, but I like to hang to summer for as long as I can!
ReplyDeletePerfect photo to illustrate your point. I'm ready though for fall.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I hate the end of summer, but I do love fall. I can hardly wait for it to be official.
