Despite a forecast of rain this Labour Day weekend, we decided to pack up the family and return to our cabin. I have really missed being here this past week. And I know I sound kind of dramatic, but I already miss SUMMER!Some things I have missed:
- being barefoot all day
- wearing my jammies, bathing suit or oversized tee and boy briefs (things you would not wear when dropping your daughter off at school)
- my morning french press coffee and granola on the adirondack chair on the deck
- reading magazines in the day and not feeling guilty
- the smell of suntan lotion on my kid's warm bodies
- opening the doors in the morning and letting Kirby and the kids roam and explore and play outside without fear of them getting run over by a car or being swiped by a stranger or being mauled by a cougar
- having no tv, and consequently having no kids ask over and over again if they can watch a show
- being able to walk to the park, the beach, our friend's cabin, etc. without the whole rigamarole of getting in and out of our car
- the sound of the crickets at night and the waves against the shore
- cooling off in the ocean after being warmed by the sun
- summer drinks and food (champagne, goat cheese, fresh herbs, berries, tomatoes, corn on the cob, fresh crab, summer pasta, BBQ's, roasted peppers...)
Something I have NOT missed this week...
...is Kirby, barking incessantly for me to throw her stick into the ocean. I have cursed her name many, many times this summer. Even cried twice.
