Good-bye, summer?

With my daughter in jeans + myself dressed in capris, I think we had our last boat ride of the summer. Just seems fitting with baseball commentators constantly talking about magic numbers + must-win games and football teams finally gracing us with their presence that we should temporarily say good-bye to summer. I love flip flops, slight sun burns, trips to the lake (and my new-found love of tubing …), baseball and fresh fruit, but I also love needing a jacket as the sun sets, going to football games, watching the leaves change and putting on a sweater for the first time this season. Oh, and I really want to go to a pumpkin patch. I have roasting marshmallows + hot dogs on bonfire on my fall to-do list as well, but that shouldn’t be a problem because my friends also are all about bonfires.

So, maybe this is good-bye summer, hello fall … Maybe.

Before the boat ride Saturday evening, Cate discovered a duck call while the guys played pool. Lucas taught her how to make the sound I was very thankful we’d leave at Lake Barkley.
