Fall? How did that happen?

I took Mia outside today, and I realized that there are leaves on the ground. And falling from the trees. Really?

Somehow, it became September, and I didn't actually notice. I feel as if I missed out on the summer this year. I feel as if I've missed out on the last several summers, actually. It's been a long time since I've thrown on a bathing suit and lounged in the yard or on a beach, and I miss that.

I think, next year, I'm going to have a summer. No show for me! Unless it's a really good one...
