Muses

Summer ended a day or so ago. Musing on goodbye.

Most people are relieved when fall arrives.

I like fall. I love the change of seasons but happy about ever-increasing gray skies, shorter days and cooler temperatures?

Deep down in my footie-pajamas, not one bitty-bit.

Today was a wonderful goodbye to summer. The sun shone bright; the clouds stayed where they should — far, far away.

Plenty of beach, blue water and blue sky.

 I tried to flag them down for a ride…

They didn’t hear me.

I brought some things to read. Notice the top book. How to Write a Book Proposal.

That didn’t get opened last day of summer.

It was a day for me and my trusty hat to sit in the sun.

There were some other girls who chose to sit in the shade.

Only babies sit in the shade the last day of summer.

Decided to take one last walk.

It was a great long one. Long enough that my tender girly feet feel a little scraped which is okay, since it’s the last-time-it-can-happen-this-summer feeling scraped.

Took one last swim. The water was extremely warm.

But the tide pulled.

And kept pulling. Just like those fellows wearing the red helmets in Tuscaloosa, it rolled on in…

And took my beach away.

So for another year, I bid the sand and salt and water — adieu.

How about you? Have you said goodbye to summer?
