Savoring the Last of Summer
It's hard to believe how quickly the summer has gone by...yet here we are. Football is starting, the sun is setting earlier and families are getting back into the back-to-school groove.
While I'm normally one of the first to bring out the scarfs and boots and fire up the crock pot, I'm not ready to let go of summer just yet. Not this year. Didn't it just start? Wasn't it just July 4th? What happened? Where has the year gone?
The passage of time is constant, and sometimes a season change has a way of reminding you of that.
But more than that, I guess I'm not ready to let go of rose and oysters on the patio. Or 24/7 flip flops. Or easy summer salads. Or long meandering pointless walks. But especially...oysters and rose.
I am thankful I was able to indulge in some late season patio time at Fig and Olive this week. Complete with grenache rose, oysters, jamon, pinxtos and a warm September setting sun, it warped me to last September in Spain.
And just like that. It's a year later. Another season is upon us.
My two passions. What a lovely pair they make. |
