la mer - a farewell to summer, pt I

It's been September for 14 whole days now, but it's just beginning to hit me that summer has ended.

The distinctive lines between summer & fall have blurred over the last two years, 

what with the addition of a day job and the subtraction of the back-to-school factor.

Traffic is back to it's stop&go norm, the sun is setting earlier, & we're spending more evenings on our back porch.

I'm not kidding myself - I am welcoming fall back with wide open arms,

But I can't help but be *a teeeeensy bit* sentimental over yet another newlywed season ending.

Summer, you were great! 

A little toasty, but I'm sure I'll be dreaming of your warm embrace soon enough.
