Summer is fading. At first I was reluctant to part with the longer, unstructured days. Then almost like a gift - our weather changed to typical west coast gray. The skies remained dark yesterday. I dressed in tights and a sweater with long sleeves. I felt comfortable - at home - I love summer but my favourite season to dress for is autumn. So, I felt an inner shift - I am very thankful for the summer of 2010 but I am looking forward to what the next few months will bring.
Some of my best memories of this summer include Westport, the meteor showers, downtown Seattle,
drinking Trebbiano on my deck, walking the trails with my husband, the relaxed days with my 15 year olds, a BBQ with my sisters, a trip home to visit my folks and to stock up on some good wine for the winter months and just hanging out with friends.
September brings new schedules, new schools, new courses, change of menu, craving for apple pie and knee socks. School supplies and routine. Dance and more dance. And a job - for my daughter! She got the job. It is a bittersweet moment for me. I have an incredible sense that I will blink and she will be gone. I held her extra tightly last night.

I am glad you still hug your daughter. wishing all of God's blessings and protection on you and your family...
I am curious: are you going to make the pies yourself with that lovely fruit?
cynthia - I will make pies - but probably not with those apples.
