Summer's golden hour

"August still stretched before us-long and golden and reassuring, like an endless period of delicious sleep."- Lauren Oliver
Well, August is here, full and ready. The summer is really rolling on by and here I thought I would have too much time and it's beginning to look like I didn't have enough! Students are returning to school this month, the summer holidays are ended, hurricane season is ramping up and I'm sending out job applications. What an intersting time, it feels like the warm calm before the storm on the very busy thanksgiving/christmas season. Department stores and business are already decorating their shelves with Halloween and Thanksgiving items. Although Halloween in my favorite holiday, I'd rather have August and September just as they are- a slow golden fade into autumn. It is nothing to be rushed, for too soon I will be trying to remember the way the warmth sat heavy in the air when the cold air bites at my fingertips.
I've enjoyed a summer full of crafting, setting up our house, learning how to grow things in this hot and humid climate, playing at the beach, reading, starting a blog, creating a cleaning schedule. I have been really blessed this summer in a lot of small ways and I hope I can hold on to these memories for a long time.
I am looking forward to the rest of August and September as I find this season and Autumn to be really inspiring for crafting and creating art. The pace of life and the changes in nature always feel like coming home. It's weird to experience that nostalgia and longing so far from the place that is my true home.
"Some days in late August at home are like this, the air thin and eager like this, with something in it sad and nostalgic and familiar." - William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury
