Summer Is...

Summer is a rush! It goes by quickly, and full of urgency to make the most of freedom and fun. This moment was back in July, when So Cal was barely warming up: we were so eager to believe that it was hot enough to feel refreshed in our unheated pool... we went in, despite the cold. Even the two in wetsuits were shivering! At the time, I hesitated to share this since the rest of the country was in the early days of what has been a long, lasting heat wave. Now, we are in a heat wave of our own, and the pool finally does feel actually refreshing, but alas... our summer rush, our freedom and fun is too quickly drawing to an end.
