Coming to terms with summer's end doesn't get easier. Every year I wait until I see the first sign of fall - a bough of changing colors - before I accept summer's departure. In the meantime, I'll toast to summer and daydream about its virtues. We miss you already, summer. Thanks for gloriously long days of sunshine and summer-stormy nights. I look forward to next year's parade of summer dresses and floppy hats, ice cream runs, frisbee volleys, pretty cocktails and impossibly messy watermelons. What did you enjoy most this summer? (Comment below, if you care to share.)
