Summertime is fading

School starts this week. Summer is fading into Fall. I have been swimming at the beach as much as I can. The weather has been warm and the water inviting. I go at high tide, in the late afternoon so I can actually do some "lap" swimming. I only wish I could get there more often before it gets too cold to go into the water.
All kinds of daily demands have interfered with my trips. Today it was an impromptu trip to MA to retrieve the last of my son's possessions from his college apartment...in preparation for his transition to his own place. He is ready for his life to begin. Meanwhile I am enjoying a relaxing swim in the ocean, cooling down, but gearing up for one last year of having a child in public education. This is the last time I will fill out all the forms at the start of each year. The lasts time I will buy school supplies. Time flies and life moves on...next chapter. Meanwhile I am going to enjoy my swims.
