Closing Summer

Today is the unofficial last day of summer. While summer season technically ends in late September, there's little question in my mind that summer ends on August 31 each year. Tomorrow (September 1) will bring the season opener of dove season - one of my favorite fall activities. Football season will be in full swing this weekend, along with volleyball and cross country, no doubt sports which bring strong memories of fall activities. The smell of fall is detectable in the evening breeze and I see more people out enjoying the comfortable temperatures.

While today we find ourselves looking at temperatures in the mid-90's, this weekend will be in the upper-70's and that will surely bring on a feeling of fall! I'm still hopeful to go camping and enjoy some warmer temperatures for awhile yet, but with schools back in session and fall activities underway, there's no doubt in my mind that summer is over!

Until again
