No, No, Not Yet!

Reality check, summer is really gone. We will have our final dance this weekend from current weather reports, then warm weather will be a gift not a given. I am not ready for this, even though it means my allergies will blow away with the leaves.

Again another warm weather season has past without me checking off all the things on my fun times check list. OK, I did experience Minnesota Fringe Festival, and heard some live music but it wasn’t enough. Next year as soon as the sweaters come off, I am going to learn to kayak and run a 5K (let’s not get too ambitious with a marathon). There will be more rooftop festivities in my future and the art of grilling fish will be mastered. I will sit on a patio and finish a book which is not related to work or classes or learning how the opposite sex thinks (really, I should give up on this one). Finally, I will laugh more with my friends and family since it seems an easier task when your feet aren’t cold.

And this weekend? My last fling with the summer will include a trip to the St. Paul Farmer’s Market to grab my pumpkins and apple cider. I might even order a turkey. I won’t make the same mistake with autumn that I made with its predecessor and squander the season.
