I don't know why it is, but I am just now getting used to the idea that it is summer.  For whatever reason this year it hasn't "felt like" summer until about a week ago. 

And just as I am getting used to the idea of it being a relaxing time of year I am rudely reminded that this too will not last. 

I get up pretty early most days.  I like to get up with Rich in the morning to help him get out the door and say goodbye.  Then I have a couple of hours to myself to work on the computer doing whatever I feel like doing before my kids get up for the day. 

I don't exactly like getting up at 5 in the morning, but I do love saying goodby to Rich and my treasured time alone. 

Okay, so back to the reminder that I was talking about earlier.  Today it was noticeably darker out than it has been lately.  I mean it appeared that the sun was just coming up.  This means that fall is trying to take its place on the stage.

I love fall, but do you have any idea how much harder it is to stay up in the morning when it is still dark outside?  It just seems unnatural to be awake when it isn't even daylight yet.  I know I'm jumping a little ahead of myself here.  I have a nice chunk of summer left and I plan to enjoy every single bit of it.
