The last two weeks in August are the best time of summer. This is a transition period of the hot weather cooling down; many folks take their vacations at this time resulting in less traffic, no crowded stores and the feeling of energetic vacancy.
The mornings are cooler, the days are hot, and the nights are refreshing.
The beach gets quiet; the earth has moved on its axis making the days shorter and shorter by the hour. There’s a leaf here and there turning brown, yellow and red on random trees hinting at what is to come.
There is a gap at this time between the beginning of the new school year and buying school supplies and the anticipation of fall with cool wind and falling leaves.
Most people have their own idea of ending their summer. For me it is these last two weeks of August. Meteorologists and Climatologist say summer ends on August 31st. I have to agree.
There will be an occasional hot day for a few weeks and that is OK. I will reflect on my summer activities and remember the roar of the ocean and the sea gulls stealing food and the hot sand in my toes and quietly look forward to the fall.
