There are potatoes that are in serious need of being harvested, tomatoes that need roasting and freezing, grass that needs mowing, and if I'm being honest with myself, a house that is in serious need of some cleaning. And you know I want to paint those benches.
But this time of year? As the August days are winding down, and I'm spying surprising shocks of red on the trees (really, so soon?)....now is the time to say yes. Yes to the beach. Yes to the lake. Yes to the ocean. Yes to picnics in the park. Yes, yes, yes.
And so we did, yesterday.
And today, I woke up early to harvest the potatoes and roast the tomatoes. The grass and the house can wait. For now, we're going back to the beach.
Yes, yes, yes....to summer.
