Summer is winding down. I don't mean the heat we still have some more of that to come. But the slowness that summer brings. The days are the same in length but they seem longer with the warm sun shinning well into the evening. You sit on your patio longer and take walks around the block at almost 9pm when the sky turns a dusty rose. All my friends and family and even Superman are talking about school starting so that makes it feel official. We start to settle more into a routine that we don't seem to have in summer. You have to start going to bed earlier and you spend more time indoors.
It makes me miss my childhood when I used to bowl in the summer with my grandma or make mud pies with my dad by the lake ...when did I grow up? It also makes me thankful for the adventures I have had this summer and what I have learned about myself.
So here's to slower days...
Fans on full blast
Watching the evening roll in.
Sniffing the summer flowers in the wind
And finding yourself or at least who you want to be.

I remember making mud pies and decorating them, making forts in the dirt with Popsicle sticks. Getting up at 3am to go to Galveston a couple times every summer! Summer memories, good times:)
