I've just spent ten days camping in Norfolk and the weather has been fabulous - blue skies, wall-to-wall sunshine and very warm, in fact today when I was packing up to come home it was HOT. I've spent every day wearing nothing but cycling shorts, strappy top and beach sandals, and not a jacket in sight! :)Tigermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386636767916316587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-8215903730491972072014-09-15T22:38:00.187-04:002014-09-15T22:38:00.187-04:00I'm with you Christine - not ready for summer ...I'm with you Christine - not ready for summer to be "over".

Glad to know actual customers think so, too. ;)<br /><br />Yup, fall weather is fully here. Bums me out.<br /><br />Our sports rarely get cancelled. Lightening is the only excuse. Normally I'm good with that. I'm highly perturbed by it when it sleeting and we're freezing our butts off. (It's happened. More than once.) <br /><br />And yes, it is awesome watching them.

There was no sun, and we were all shivering. And then, glory be, the sun came out at about noon. We all were able to strip off the layers and be warm again. It's amazing how much difference that sun can make!

I totally understand what it's like to miss those family dinners with everyone together eating, talking, and laughing together-especially this time of year. I'm happy you got to have that. I love to watch my kids play too and their sports all start up this week. I am really looking forward to it. I cannot even begin to fathom cooler weather. We are still in the 90s during the day and if we've gone below 80 at night, I haven't heard about it. I am just a tiny bit envious of your cooler weather.
