Labor Day

With Labor day just around the corner it's the unofficial end of Summer. Planning that last BBQ or maybe a trip to the beach.
The kids here have been back in school for a week now and starting to get a routine. Get up, dressed,breakfast,on the bus,back home,homework,back to bed. Getting them set for Adulthood.
Same rountine only summer break (vacation) is not quite as long.
The Halloween candy and decorations are already on display in the stores. The holiday season has just begun . Fall, burning leaves and putting away all the things of summer.
In some ways it is a relief in others it is sad. Be glad when the heat is turned down outside but not glad to turn it on inside. The days are longer in the summer and somehow I feel more productve. On the other hand those indoor projects need tending too as well.
Labor Day, a return to the daily labor of living life. No beach,no swimming (not in real water anyway) and as Zac Brown says no @$# in the sand.In the summer you can stand around the bbq and drink beer and that is expected,do that in the fall and the neighbors just call you a lush.
But I love the changing of the seasons. Each one has its' own special feel and for me memories.
I am from New York so I suppose at a certain age the Florida population control board sends thier agents out to get you.
Labor day,a holiday for the working man. What a concept.
