Ending Summer

I resist change... it's true. I am not anxiously awaiting fall at all. I want to continue thinking about beach trips only one month away and putting Bella's sundresses on every morning. I want to sweat while standing outside for five minutes and take afternoon naps when the heat is unbearable.
I felt the chill a couple of times already and I am aware that it's coming soon but I don't have to like it. For some reason I can only think about the frigid winter and I hate the frigid cold weather. Watermelons, meals outdoors and bare baby feet will only be pleasant memories and distant dreams.
However, I am excited to send Bella to her 3's class at school. And I am excited to see the colors the leaves turn and the fair and festivals happening in the coming months.
After that it's full on holiday season. It's weird to think of holiday shopping and sweaters, leafless trees and brown grass when a drive to the store produces enough sweat that I have to shower twice a day.
I am preparing in small ways to make the change more acceptable. I bought a Yankee Candle Pumpkin Spice wafer to burn.
Hopefully the change happens slowly since we have one more beach trip to make. I love warm September days since by birthday is there toward the end. I suppose God knew what He was doing when He planned my birthday. Anything helps when I think of ending summer and having to accept the change.
