I'm in denial.
Although summer is officially over, I still dress for it every time I step outside to run.
Headband. Check.
Visor. Check.
Water belt. Check.
T-shirt. Check.
Shorts. Check.
Well, tonight it was damn cold while I was running. I don't know what I was thinking. Earlier in the day, darling daughter and I went to the park and it was a bit chilly. I guess I had tomorrow's warm forecast in my head when I left the house. It was only when I had started out that I realized it wasn't as warm as I thought it would be. I should have worn the new long sleeved shirt I bought two weeks ago, but no matter. When I run I'm committed to finishing, despite the weather conditions. But I really I have to get my mind wrapped around the fact it is fall and I need to start dressing for it.

The last day of summer and the weatherman lied
I woke up this morning expecting to haul darling daughter in her green wagon to the park. Instead, I've had to cancel our park plans due to rain, which is annoying as the weatherman said there would be sun today.
So when I noticed the dark, large cloud hovering over my house this morning and no sun in sight, I consulted the Environment Canada website. Instead of the sunny and relatively warm weather that was forecast by my local weatherman during the weather forecast last night, I was welcome to the sight of rain cloud icons on my computer screen. Cloudy, showers, thunderstorms, rain are some of the weather action that is being promised for the next four days.
It may just be me, but September seems to be turning out to be a crappy month weather wise. Sunday was a gorgeous fall day, but summer seemed to have disappeared two days after Labour Day. At this point, predictions of it being a warmer than usual September aren't shaping up to be true.
I guess I should cut the weatherman some slack. He's only human. He doesn't create the weather. He just predicts it. But what a crappy day on the last day of summer.

What happened to summer?
Looking out the kitchen while doing dishes tonight, I suddenly wondered, what happened to summer?
Good question. The leaves of one of the maple trees are changing colours. It seems like yesterday when I spotted the little boy who lives across the street bring home artwork on his last day of school. In a couple of weeks, him and the rest of the kids who live in the neighbourhood will be returning to school. The days are getting shorter. If I was to run at 8:30 p.m., I'd be running in the dark. The evenings are getting cooler and a tad bit crisper. You can smell fall on the horizon. Yes, the warm weather will likely stick around for another month, but the start of another school year usually marks the end of summertime fun.
Summer always seems to be over in the blink of an eye. With great anticipation and fanfare, it arrives and weeks later it is over for another year. I wish summer lasted a little bit longer than it does.

Too hot to blog
Is it fall yet?
I'm sitting in my living room with the lights off. I should really turn up (or is it down) the air conditioner to cool off the house a bit more, but I'm too lazy to get off my chair. After going to the park this morning (and it was H-O-T) and finishing lunch, I'm ready for a siesta. But I'm covered in sunscreen and sand so I really should take a quick shower and sweep up the sand we trekked into the house.
I think the heat is doing something to my brain. I fell off the park bench this morning because I thought there was more seat than there actually was. I've got a bit of a headache and I can't come up with anything remotely witty to blog about. Luckily my brain is allowing me to string together some half decent logical sentences together.
I realize it is summer, but I'm not a fan of heat waves. I'm not too sure what we'll be doing this afternoon. It may be just too hot to play outside. So keep cool, dear readers. Do whatever you have to do to keep cool, even if that means heading to the mall. Tomorrow is going to be hot, too. *Sigh* Come February I'll be dreaming about this weather, but now I'm cursing it.
