"Nature looks dead in winter because her life is gathered into her heart. She withers the plant down to the root that she may grow it up again fairer and stronger. She calls her family together within her inmost home to prepare them for being scattered abroad upon the face of the earth." Hugh Macmillan

take a hike summer!!
My favorite seasons may be fall and winter, but if there's one thing I really do love about summer it's SWIMMING!!!! The boys and I can really spend all day in the pool (evidenced by the severe sunburns I get from time to time...) and we love to swim a little, get out and eat a popsicle or some ice cream and then get right back in!! Better yet, we sometimes swim all morning and then come into the cool house in the afternoon to lay down and watch a movie and (if mommy is really lucky) we take a nap!! But this weekend, as fall weather is upon us and replacement pool cleaning supplies are sold out at the store, we are taking down our pool for the season. We usually end up closing the pool over Labor Day weekend and it just so happened that we had the time, yet again, to take down the pool this weekend. I'm sad to see it go but it's just further proof that before we know it the leaves will be changing colors, we'll be shopping for Christmas and soon enough we'll be in the midst of the holiday season!! I can't wait!!!!
