Where Has The Summer Gone
I happened to look out my window the other night around 9 PM and it was almost pitch black out there….or so it seemed to me.
What happened to dusk that stretched to about 9:30 so that I could sit out in my Florida room and watch as the sun went down.
What is this silliness about the sun rising at about 7 AM. It is supposed to be out there for heaven’s sake an hour earlier. I noticed that when I had to be at the hospital last week at 6:15 AM and it was dark out.
I can hardly wait for Standard Time to come back too [sigh].
This has been an odd summer for me from a health perspective. More visits to the operating room and seeing doctors this summer than almost anytime in my whole life before, combined. Fortunately, knock on wood, I am still alive and kicking I can grow old gracefully. <LOL>
However, like the first summer I moved down here, which was unbearably hot as well, I could not use my pool completely until summer’s end. Literally, then, when I was ready to use the pool, the weather changed for the worst and I could not even dip my toe in the water. This time because, medically, I cannot go in it, I had to close it early.
I do get very depressed when that cover goes on and I cannot see the water moving. It means that snow season is coming again and snow drifts have to be plowed.
I really should not complain though. It all balances out. I BBQed for the first time in my life in March and did open up the pool earlier than ever before. Do I thank El Niño for that or global warming?
Labour Day, how I hated it. Last day of the Ex—the CNE– when I lived in Toronto. I rarely ever attended on that day because the crowds tended to be very big although it seemed that the Midway Games gave out a lot more prizes that day. I guess they had to get rid of them or something.
It also meant school the next day. Shudder. I wasn’t happy about that that either.
Oh well. it’s time to relax and take it easy and to wait for the colours in the trees to come out. If only we could skip into spring right after that.
I really do not mind the fall. The tempo of everything picks up as people go back to work and kids start school. The auto guys are right after all. September is the beginning of the new year, not January!
At least I do not have to worry about going back to work. I only play lonely Blogger, or rather, lonely Article writer at the Square now. It’s done for fun and to help make Windsor better after all. It does keep the mind active and perhaps I am contributing in my own way. I hope so.
Life is not so bad. Becoming an empty nester should be an interesting experience. I may be also be invited to participate in a couple of ventures that intrigue me. We’ll see how that goes. I can only do it because of being at this stage of my life.
Hmmm…how old was the Colonel when he started KFC? I am 65 now, the start of my Golden Years. Bring it on! It can only get better.
