good-bye to summer

Yes, I know, summer officially ends on Labor Day, next Monday. But for me, today is the last day of summer. Alexander and I leave the Cape tomorrow.

It's been a week of perfect weather, and today is no exception, though a little too hot.

It's low tide. There's a light breeze. And the temperature is high. Perfect conditions for floating. And the calm waters make it possible to read at the same time.


We spend a couple of hours lazily floating in the warm Cape Cod waters. It's nice to spend uninterrupted time with my son. 

Around four, we decide to leave. 


I could say that Alexander is sad to see summer end, but his scowl reflects an impatience for my picture-taking.


We drive back to my mom's. Unload the golf cart. Put away the chairs. Throw away the trash. Hang up the towels. And say good-bye to summer.
