Where did the summer go?

Where I live, we had a cooler than usual summer, sprinkled at times with lots of rain.  Now, I'm not a fan of the really hot weather, so for me I really enjoyed the weather.

 

Here are some of the highlights of my summer, in no particular order:

• lazy afternoons in the swimming pool
• long walks with my dog
• playing cards with my kids
• lots of BBQs!!
• sipping coffee on the patio first thing in the morning
• hearing the birds outside my window
• kayaking on the lake
• watching the sunset
• seeing a meteor shower
• reading outside until the light fades
• dining al fresco
• easy picnics by the pool
• surprise visit by my sister-in-law (who lives very, very far away!)

What are some of your favourite moments of the summer?
