I made the sad realization recently that the sun is going down earlier.  I noticed the corn stalks, here on the Eastern Shore,  have started to turn brown.  And yes, Halloween decorations have been popping up on the shelves.   I have a hard time believing that summer is almost – gulp! – over.  Some kids have returned to school already.  And for some,  their kids have left home for the first time to start college.

When I see the countdowns for school to start, I avert my eyes.  I have a personal philosophy that life is just way too short to wish away any of the days.  I am going to relish every single last day left of the summer. This post is a little slice of  my Summer 2012.  I 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!). 🙂 This summer was filled with days at the beach, a visit from my brother and his family (6 boys running amok in 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!

I hope you are enjoying the sunshine when you can, taking it all in before the days turn chilly.
