The summer seems to end with a flourish. Back to school preparation, one last holiday weekend, the Minnesota State Fair, are all a part of that “end of summer” rush. For those of us that are a bit older, we get to sit out that struggle our children expressed about the excitement and the ambivalence of a new school year, although a couple of grandchildren have mentioned it, and I am happy to let their parents deal with it. This is also the time that activities and patterns of where children are will change. Watch for children. Slow down at the school zones and street crossings and watch for the busses.
It's sad to see summer end, but autumn, and the hive of activity the new season brings is like another chapter in the same book, something to look forward to and enjoy.
