summer thoughts and new work

i guess i have to face the fact that summer is ending.  my best friend's daughter is off to begin her first year of college.  middle son is going back next week and we have been trying to squeeze in all the things we said we'd do back when summer felt endless and expansive and new.  i tend to think we've got all the time in the world during summer.  this might also be known as denial. of winter.

anyone else feeling the same or are you all ready for autumn?
