in seasons
Dear Fall,
You are one of my favorite times of the year, but this year I’m not quite ready for you yet. While the boys are swimming in the pool, I cannot think of the best way to tell them that the pool will be closed soon. I love letting them splash, swim, and play. I love being lazy in the warm sun, catching up on emails, and playing in the pool too! I will miss lazy afternoons like these. We are “outside” people, and one of our favorite things to do outside is swim. Oh fall, hold on for a few more weeks!
Once you do greet us, I will get over the fact that the pool is closed and I will begin my “baking season.” You see, sweet fall, you are the perfect time for pies, breads, cookies, and dinners. You bring college football, world series, and Halloween. Soon I will be so busy with things to do I will forget our long afternoons by the pool. Those days will be traded with fairs, carnivals, parties, and a wedding I can’t wait to get to!
This is one of our last evenings by the pool and I am holding onto it as long as I can. Now that my oldest is wrapped up in a towel waiting to get back inside because you are cooling us off rather quickly today, I ask you to wait a few more weeks. Just a few.
Love,
A.
