I made the sad realization recently that the sun is going down earlier. \u00a0I noticed the corn stalks, here on the Eastern Shore, \u00a0have started to turn brown. \u00a0And yes, Halloween decorations have been popping up on the shelves. \u00a0 I have a hard time believing that summer is almost – gulp! – over. \u00a0Some kids have returned to school already. \u00a0And for some, \u00a0their kids have left home for the first time to start college.<\/p>\n

When I see the countdowns for school to start, I avert my eyes. \u00a0I have a personal philosophy that life is just way too short to wish away any of the days. \u00a0I am going to relish every single last day left of the summer. This post is a little slice of \u00a0my Summer 2012. \u00a0I hope you don’t mind indulging me in my online scrapbook of my little guys – for this is how I’ve spent my days….very fortunate to live by the shore, the place that I am drawn to most (well, other than an antique mall!). \ud83d\ude42 This summer was filled with days at the beach, a visit from my brother and his family (6 boys running amok\u00a0in the house!), a few trips to Chincoteague and Assateague, and wrapping up the first phase of a very big project….cannot wait to tell you about it soon, too – my first hint ever!<\/p>\n
