farewell.

well, it's about that time we say 

farewell to summer.

(a dog, obviously)

you've been good to us.

so very good to us this year.

(i have no idea)

we have enjoyed some lovely sun-filled days 

at the beach

and the pool 

and you have provided many quiet moments 

among a surprisingly rigid and 

unrelenting summer schedule.

(again, no idea)

we will always look back at this summer 

and think about all of the lovely ways 

in which we enjoyed our time with you.

and we will always remember this 

as the last summer before D enters kindergarten.

(snakes)

even though i didn't even get close to 
implementing my summer schedule

(a lot of that will hopefully be put into a fall schedule)

we still had an intentional and fulfilling summer.

(a playdough man) 

It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; 

you made both summer and winter.

Psalm 74:17
