Summer Sunset

Farewell, summer!  I looked at the weather this morning and was delighted to see that it’ll only be in the 90s one day this week.  Yup, that’s “fall” in North Carolina for you.
I’m in the minority.  I’ve never cared much for summertime.  So I’m practically pushing it out the door.  I’m not one of those omg fall! girls, though I do really love fall.  But I honestly think I just like any season that isn’t summer.  Fun fact: winter is my fave.
I stopped off at Yankee Candle on Friday and managed to only pick up a few tarts for our warmer.  They’re stashed under our kitchen sink for now because I refuse to burn any fall fragrances until there’s an actual chill in the air.  It makes me giggle though every time I reach in that cabinet because I’m literally assaulted by the scent every time I open the cupboard.  I’m okay with that.
I snuck out for a quick run yesterday.  I went a little further than I’d gone the last few times.  I did have to stop.  A lot.  I’m not quite back into the groove I maintained in Buies Creek, but I’m determined to get back there.  I honestly really just love how great an analogy running always is for life.  Sometimes there are hills.  Sometimes you have to stop to catch your breath.  Sometimes you pass people. Sometimes they pass you.  But in the end, you’ve still accomplished something.
I’ll leave you with that, on this Tuesday that feels like a Monday!  Enjoy your day, friends!

  1. YES to fall scented candles! I am anxiously awaiting that chill in the air, windows open, cozy blanket, good book, hot beverage, and an apple cinnamon/pumpkin scent filling the living room day! Come on Charlotte! 🙂 -Megan

  4. I am like you, summer is not my favorite and I am more of a fall/winter girl myself. I basically have fall/winter candles in my house all year long. All summer we have been burning toasted marshmallow. Hehe 🙂

  7. I like that analogy!! So true! Shopped a Labor Day sale at our local craft store and they had a sale on fall candles……yup, bought some and can't wait to light them! Once this 85-95 degree weather stops that is…..or maybe if I light them now it will somehow bring on the forces of fall…….hmmmm…..

  9. Tuesday that feels like Monday indeed. At least tomorrow's "already" Wednesday.

    I desperately need some new Scentsy melts. I've never tried the Yankee ones.

  10. Yeah it's still hot here. But I do love the summer 🙂 I can't get enough of the pool this year! I do like the fall but despise the cold :-p I'm just a weenie since I grew up in Texas I suppose.
