    So Long Summer 

    I am feeling Fall. I know we are not even in August yet, but my teenager goes back to school in mid-August and all she can talk about is she cannot wait to wear sweats again. The fair has past and I did not get to the carnival this year was a bummer. My son that usually took me has moved about 6 hours away to be with his fiancee. He actually met her online and it seems to be working out great. It is way cooler also today; My air has even kept up. Maybe it and the cloudiness just are making me feel the next season?

    Eating cold treats have been big for me this year. Also lite fare.

    So I thought I would share summer treats and food ideas to try before we say, “So long to summer.”

      Food looks absolutely delish! Rest well. Summer can be hot and distressing. Fall may be a better season. But your feeling the Mom experiences. ❤❤❤❤

        Summer used to be my favorite season but as I got older Fall became my favorite.

          Summer has become too hot in many places, seemingly as a result of the changing weather patterns. Fall and Spring can be a bit more comforting than the harshness of Summer and Winter. Stay cool! Enjoy your day!

          We are finally down from low 90’s now from 100 improvement.

          I would say so. I remember too Summer being my favorite season. This has been the hottest Summer I have ever felt in my life. What is even scarier, the temperatures over the past few years have been increasing.

      It’s funny, but people at work were saying “Fall was in the air” a few days ago too!

      Oh, my, everything looks so scrumptious! I am having a difficult time realizing that we’re well into August. Where do the days go! 😁
      Have a wonderful week!

      Summer went by way too fast this year! I too feel Fall in the air. I have no idea what to expect this year. Love these pictures of Summer. How I wish Summer was still really here.

      I am so sad to see summer go—definitely my favorite season. Fall is beautiful here but I can’t forget that it’s followed by winter!! Treats look yummy

      Wonderful crafting!

        Did you see my stars from pop cans on there? May be you will not know what I am talking about. (You wanted to see them last year. I had taken a picture of them last year, but my camera was messed up with my pictures and I had to fix it. By then my stuff was put away for fall decorations. Lost pictures.

      I just love those stars!! So cute! All of your crafts are so cute. I see the kids made some stars too! Memories..isn’t it wonderful creating them with your kids. Love your bird picture frame too!

        Thank you. When My kids were young we made stuff all the time. They are still all creative but in different ways but not doing home deco stuff. (Fixing engines. Humor stories, Drawing, etc.)
