the last of the summer rains

As I was getting ready to leave (again) today, the heavens opened up and the entire house took on this eerie glow. It's been raining a lot here, but this was the kind of rain that only happens at the end of the summer. The skies let loose as if to purge every last drop before the coolness of fall can settle in. It's a great time of the year. I'm excited for fall hikes, gingersnap liqueur (I'm waiting until the first day of autumn to pop this one open, for now, it makes a nice decorative piece) and fall decor. (As you can see, some of it snuck in already.) I'm also excited for the big and somewhat scary but mostly exciting changes that are happening in my own life. Although I have fall fever, I'm going to enjoy these last few days of summer. Hope you all do the same!
