Treasure Jar

Summer days seemed too long and too hot when we were experiencing these. Today though, with the rains threatening to pour down anytime soon, I’m sure a lot of people would still want to relish the summer days and spend some time at the beach. Or is it just me?

I’m sure a lot of homes have folded and said goodbye to their summer things like inflatable pools, outdoor footstools, picnic tables and outdoor toys. Most of the school children are now back in school, laboring for another 9 or 10 months or so with reading, home works, projects and more school works.

It is back to waking up at the crack of dawn for me. Summer, I am surely going to miss you soon 😀
