Today’s slice of life is a goodbye to summer. All those hot, sunny days appear to have been quickly shoved to the side by dark clouds and icy wind. How can things change so quickly?

Summer is opening the fridge to shelves full of juicy watermelon, oranges and grapes.

Summer is the juicer being worked overtime.

And ice! Summer if full of cold refreshing ice!

Summer is licking icy-poles for morning, lunch and afternoon tea.

It is accusations about who didn’t fill the water jug or the ice tray last.

Summer is not knowing what to eat because you would rather drink thirst quenching water allllllll day long.

We are only 6 days past the end of summer but as I sit here in my long pants and jumper it seems like a distant memory. Having said that, the one thing I am looking forward to is scarf wearing season- oh how I love to wear warm security-blanket-like scarves!
