How are we at the end of August already?! It feels like school just ended, but it's starting again next week! Determined to soak up every last ray of summer sunshine, we started off the week by hitting the beach...
The water was already too chilly for me (but I like it bathwater temperature, so perhaps I'm not a good judge). The kids agreed it was cold, but had a good, long swim anyway.
I still remember when I was studying vocabulary words for the SAT in high school (sheesh, decades ago now!) and one of the words was "coruscate" ("to emit flashes of light; to sparkle or glitter"). I always think of the word "coruscate" when I see sunshine dancing on water...
This is how it is at the end of August here in northern New Jersey: One day, we're at the beach eating rainbow-colored snowcones, and the next, golden leaves are fluttering down from the trees. Tempus fugit, indeed.
Your turn: How are you making the most out of the last days of summer?
