- it's getting dark just a bit earlier than a week or two ago
- there is dew on the vehicle windows in the morning and all over the grass when I get up at 4 AM to let the cats in/out
- the squirrels that live in the tree in the backyard and chattier than usual
- a few leaves in the trees are less green and more........yellow
- I am spending a couple hours a day at the school............and I am not alone
- Staples had it's Teacher Appreciation Day this week. (and while I very much appreciate being appreciated....the 'treat' bags had 2 small crayons, four mini pencil crayons and a whole bunch of paper promos for products. It really was a waste of packaging. Poor trees)
- Jiminy the Cricket is back under my bedroom window, singing away happily almost 24 hours a day. I actually enjoy him. Such an enthusiastic late summer member of our family.
- I feel like I need to squeeze out every walk I cabn before it's cold
- picking raspberries and saskatoon berries is almost over
- lots of fresh carrots and peas, cucumbers and potatoes from the farm.
- the crockpot has come out again
- Hockey tryouts begin. Nothing like curling back up in a chilly rink to remind you the hot days are over.

Jolie! I was just saying yesterday that I felt like we didn't have a summer. July was scorchingly hot and we didn't do too much outside, and now August is flying by! I don't want school to start, I want to hold on to summer!
That sounds wonderful! I can almost smell it...
If you miss summer though - we are still in the throws of it until October! Come on down!
Great post... gonna miss summer! *sigh*
I can't wait for the fall. I love the fall. Everything just feels fesh and crisp. Even as a kid, I couldn't wait for September, it always felt like a brand new start.
You missed one thing - "you start dreaming about the classroom again"! Actually I had a few dreams in July too lol!
