As the squirrels gather nuts to store for the winter so I begin gathering our last summer memories. I watch the weather and squeeze in one more day at the beach. One more trip to a favorite spot. One more chance to lay back and soak up the sun on my face. Sure after days of rain and cold we may have to wear our boots to get to the beach, but once we're there it's worth it. Made all the more precious as we feel the season slipping away...
