One Last Hoorah for Summer

If only...
Well, here we are. One last chance to wear our white shoes, break out our most obnoxious Lilly shifts, and grill up various and sundry meat products in the great outdoors.

Except (today at least) the weather here isn't cooperating with my summer fantasies. Mother Nature has been reading the September Issue at the hair salon, and is craving tweed jackets and leather boots. Perhaps she will relent tomorrow.

In the meantime, I'm up for good fun. First on the list:


Any movie involving Simon Pegg, evil robots, and pubs just has to be good, right?

Later this weekend, I'll check out the Fells, a 2,575 acre state park about five miles away. And on Monday, I'm meeting up with a friend to run a road race in the town of Acushnet, near the old whaling town of New Bedford. My legs have been cranky with me lately, so while I don't expect to race well, it will be nice to catch up with my friend with a cup of coffee later in the morning.

This summer was excellent, and I'm sorry to see it end. Everyone keeps telling me that fall in New England is glorious, so perhaps the turning colors will be a good consolation prize. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy that last little bit of summer this weekend!

    I have been wearing my white pants this month before Labour Day. I love wearing white pants during Summer. Fall here in the East coast is gorgeous! It is beautiful! Enjoy your race and bonding with your friend.

    They didn't lie to you about fall in New England. They have just the right weather, land hilly enough to create views, and all those sugar maples!

    Here in Taiwan the summer is just raining itself away--the past two weeks were almost constant storms, with no relief in sight.

      Sounds like miserable weather. I hope that you get some relief soon!

    For once we have had a brilliant summer which seems to be now heading into an Indian Summer - hope the race goes well for you.

      Thanks Rosemary! That little bit of extra summer is always nice, isn't it?
