OK, so summer isn't technically over. We've got a few days until Labor Day and a few weeks until the autumnal equinox. (Autumnal. Isn't that a fun word?)
And I wasn't technically on summer vacation. Number one, I'm not a student with summers off. Number two, I do not at the present time have a job from which I could take vacation.
And OK, I'm not by any stretch of the imagination an outdoorsy type, technically. I don't mind the occasional walk, sitting on the dock for a spell, or hanging out around a fire once in a while if the mosquitoes are under control.
But this summer zipped by faster than any in recent memory. Seems like we just finished my son's high-school graduation. Then, before I knew it, we were dropping him off at college.
One minute we were picking out a class ring and graduation announcements, and the next we were buying sheets and towels for the dorm room. One minute (OK, it was nearly 19 years ago) we were waiting to hear if "the rabbit died," and the next we were waving goodbye 200 miles from home.
Yes, the summer surely did pass by quickly.
