Something I’ve already forgotten about Arkansas even though I’ve been here almost three years {3 years???} is that fall isn’t just around the corner-even if it is the end of August. At least not the fall that I know and love; warm days, cool nights, lovely changing leaves, football, and cider mills, and pumpkin doughnuts. No, instead, fall here is still hot. Still sweaty. But that’s okay, since I haven’t quite completed all the activities on my summer list.
The summer list started back in the spring. I never wrote anything down, for fear of not completing anything on the list and feeling like a lazy moron for not having done so. I did, however, mentally check off items and found myself enjoying them despite the heat and humidity.
So… without further ado, I present to you:

Playing in the rain felt extremely silly…and I didn’t so much “play” as I did stand and giggle uncontrollably while Thom stood on the deck and took pictures. Still, it felt lovely to let the cold rain wash away the sweltering heat of the day.

Sounds like you had an awesome summer!
I somehow marvel at your great summer. I used to try create my own to-do-list for summer or other seasons of year. But I have not dared to jot them down for the fear of not completing them even just one. Now I think I should follow you sparkling my own summer before its gone in regret. Thanks 🙂
