Here’s to Summer

The labor day long weekend always marks the end of summer for me, even if we continue to have some beautiful weather. I am so grateful for the long lazy days of summer and how for a couple of months I get to live my days doing whatever pleases me. But, fall always brings with it an exciting new start to the school year and no matter how much I detest our winters, nothing compares to that crispness in the air and the shifting colours. But before Inspired by Lynne dives into another exciting autumn season, I wanted to reminisce…here’s to summer everyone!

Here’s to the slow mornings and long sips of coffee

Here’s to the great summer reads that last late into the night

Here’s to the first summer storm that shakes the entire house

Here’s to the patio time with friends – soaking up the sun with a cool drink in hand

Here’s to the open road, windows rolled down and tunes turned up high

Here’s to adventure, travel & the excitement a new place brings

Here’s to heaven on earth, the lake…watching the morning mist dance on the water, the slow ripple of the smooth surface, the initial shock of the cool water as you take the plunge!

Here’s to fun filled hours in the boat, with family you wish you could see all the time

Here’s to that last lingering light as the sun sets, ending a day you wish could last forever

Here’s to stories told around a crackling fire

Here’s to the festivals of light, music, art, food, dance & drama and for all the inspiration they bring

Here’s to lasting promises of love, watching friends join hands in marriage

Here’s to the memories that summers bring…so many beautiful memories.

I hope you had the perfect last “warm” long weekend and a memorable summer. I encourage you to take time to reflect on all the good that it brought. Then, soak up whatever is left of that summer sunshine and look forward to what’s in store for fall!
