It is the first few weeks of August and it feels like autumn in my little mountain town.
As much as I love autumn, fall leaves, pumpkins and baking I am just not done with summer yet.
I want one more dip in my favorite swimming hole.
I want to sit on a beach and drink cold beer.
I want to run and sweat and curse the heat and humidity and the bugs plastered to my hot sticky face.
I want to watch as thunderstorms roll in from the comfort of my front porch swing and listen to the rain drops pelting the highway.
Summer time I am so not done with you yet.
Today clouds covered the sun and I did enjoyed a beautifully over cast cool August day, I did give in to every thing I love about the fall and made Chicken Dijon Stew in my crock pot. I might have been cooking stew all day but I did not however turn on the oven here, as I am still holding out that maybe some how this is still summer time.
