The Summer Behind Us
As every year, summer seems to stretch its days, fooling us into thinking it will last forever.
We spend mornings in the garden, tending to flowers and plants in the heat, harvesting tomatoes more abundantly with each passing day. I watch the light change through our home, catching the golden hour every evening in our olive groves.
Somehow, August is hot and sweaty, but also sweet with watermelon and days at the beach. The days feel infinite, and bedtime comes much later than it should each night.
After weeks of unbearable heat, we pray for some autumn weather. But as soon as the last days of August arrive, there is this bittersweet feeling of another summer ending. What yesterday felt like a never-ending summer has somehow passed in the blink of an eye.
Tomorrow is September, and I must say, I am excited. September has always felt like fresh pencils and new pages to fill. Like fresh beginnings. And this September brings so much promise already.
But for now, we enjoy the summer once again.
