“Summer afternoon…”
“Summer afternoon – summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.”
- Henry James
Why does it seem that as soon as August begins, everyone prepares for the summer to end? Stores are advertising back to school items, and there are pumpkins everywhere I look now. Why do we have to rush so much? Autumn will be here soon enough – and will be wonderful when it is – but I am not ready for the summer to end, and so I chose to post this quote to celebrate the summer and offer some appreciation for the fact that there are still 24 glorious days left in the month of August. Summer is still in full swing. ~Melissa
